As governments and several organizations, local and international, continue to make efforts in combating insecurity across many parts of Africa and West Africa in particular, more incidences appear to be arising that deepen and complicate the nature of insecurity in the region. Internal displacement, in the recent past, has been one major challenge that has not only resulted in an increased national budget on security in many of the states in West Africa generally and in Nigeria in particular, but has also become complicated by several other factors, compounded by massive human rights violations. As early as 2009, the president of the International Committee of Red Cross, Jakob Kellenberger, in a special summit on refugees, returnees, and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Africa, asserted:It bears repeating that internal displacement poses perhaps one of the most daunting humanitarian challenges of today.
