Articles and books

Siollun's book Oil, Politics and Violence: Nigeria's Military Coup Culture (1966โ€“1976), published in 2009, has received favorable reviews by numerous commentators who note Siollun's contribution to Nigerian history, not least for its dispassionate tone, critical insight and unpacking of a complex series of events which were hitherto poorly documented or not documented at all.[2]

Siollun has written about the Dikko affair, which strained diplomatic relations between the United Kingdom and Nigeria for some time.[3][4][5] Siollun's fourth book What Britain Did to Nigeria: A Short History of Conquest and Rule was published in 2021.[6]
