    Despite the efforts of the Nigerian military and other security forces to date, Boko Haram remains a significant threat to the country, and the potential role of private security services in combating this threat is largely unknown. Therefore, it is critical to examine the effectiveness of private security services in combating Boko Haram in Nigeria, focusing on the role of Specialized Tasks, Training, Equipment, and Protection Limited (STTEP) and the perceptions and experiences of key stakeholders. Drawing on a qualitative case study methodology, this study thus fills a critical gap in understanding the security landscape in Nigeria by shedding light on the potential role and impact of private security services in the fight against Boko Haram. The study’s findings underscore the pivotal role that private security companies can play in the fight against Boko Haram in Nigeria. This is especially true for companies that have counterinsurgency experience in Africa and can gain the trust of local communities. In addition, the study highlights the critical importance of cultural sensitivity, commitment to long-term sustainability, respect for human rights, and strategic alliances to achieve lasting stability and effectiveness in counterterrorism. The study then underscores the compelling need for sound regulations, comprehensive training for personnel, and well-designed strategies specifically for private security companies in Nigeria. These findings are intended to guide policymakers, practitioners, and academics involved in security, counterinsurgency, and counterterrorism. Applied to a broader context, these findings also hold significant potential for developing more effective strategies in response to security threats, not only in Nigeria but also in other countries facing similar security challenges, underscoring the wider significance of these findings.
