TERRORISM AND DISCOURSE OF WANTONNESS IN OBINNA UDENWE'S SATAN AND SHAITANS AND ELNATHAN JOHN'S BORN ON A TUESDAY
Abstract
Background to the Study
The phenomena of terrorism and insurgency,globally, is as old as humanity and has been a stark
reality inboth developed and developing nations, thus constituting security challenges of serious
magnitude over the years. However, Stanley Adedire, Nath Ake & Tosin Olowojulu observe that "it came
to the fore on September 11,2001,when terrorists attacked the Pentagon and the World Trade Centre in
the United States. Prior to this period, it was relative of less apprehension to many sovereignties,
policymakers, academia, and other stakeholders whose major obsession then was concentrated on
resolving the crises of drug abuse, identities, arms proliferation, and wars, among others" (201). It could
therefore be inferred that the past few decades have witnessed terrorists' activities in almost all parts of
the world.
