ABSTRACT: The research analyzed the mass media reportage of crusade against Boko-haram. National security has subsequently been threatened by Boko Haram’s resurgence. Due to the environment in which the Nigerian media found itself as a watchdog, stuck in the middle of political, ethnic, and religious division, the study became crucial. The Social Responsibility and Agenda Setting theories, respectively, support the research. The study used a survey research method and asked respondents to provide data through questionnaire. Respondents were selected using purposeful sampling technique from the Nigerian Tribune and NTA Channel 5 Lagos. The collected data were analyzed in frequency and percentage method with the aid of tables. Findings show that mass media reports about terrorism were creating tension as the emphasis has been made on attacks more that many important activities. The research recommends that journalists should as a matter of national security must not write or broadcast unguided utterances of security agents with regards to logistical plans to root out criminals and terrorists from our civilized society.
