Bandits of the Sahel is a historical fiction written by Ademolawa Michael Adedipe to portray the atrocities of terrorist groups in the Sahel region of West Africa. A widespread euphemism permeates many of the gory events perpetrated by the Boko Haram terrorist group. The Boko Haram story is a narration of terrorism, subjugation, and an area on the brink of collapse. Also, in this historical fiction, centrifugal forces ravage a region where patriotism, hopelessness, and gory events are intertwined. The patriotism of a Nigerian surgeon is put to the test when he loses what he cherishes the most to a notorious terrorist group. Endless calamities, greed, and an insatiable quest for power predestine the protagonist to a fatal end. He does not just lose his family; he loses himself. He must stay out or get locked in. He risks it all, and now, he needs to confront the bigots from the Sahel.
