If you think you understand Nigeria’s longest-running security crisis, this book will make you uncomfortable — and that discomfort is exactly what will finally force us to change.
Scars is the nerve-exposing, no-safe-spaces memoir and strategic briefing from a soldier who led Nigeria’s defence at the highest level — a book that combines frontline truth-telling, moral challenge, and practical policy prescriptions. It’s for anyone who cares about power, justice, and the future of our nation: politicians, lawyers, historians, security strategists, and engaged citizens.
General Leo (Lucky) Irabor (rtd.), a former Chief of Defence Staff, pulls back the curtain on the human, institutional and political costs of the Boko Haram insurgency. He does more than recount operations: he diagnoses the root causes, names failures (and near-successes), and proposes pathways out of a crisis that has scarred communities for more than a decade. This is part memoir, part strategy paper, part moral appeal — and it arrives now as a clarion call for accountability, reform, and national healing.
But, very unfortunately, Scars is very Scarce to get eversince it was launched. Sunshine Bookseller was fortunate to get some copies.
