STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Banditry and further instability factors in
northern Nigeria have degenerated into a dynamic, territorial emergency.
The Boko Haram rebellion shows just what happened. Boko Haram started
coordinated assaults on people, populations and ultimately the state
after isolated events In contexts with no dissuasion, crime thrives.
There are numerous openings for illegal activities in most rural areas
in Nigeria. First of all, some of the groups are situated in rural areas
where government presence is little or not good. In certain cases,
families are isolated by woodland areas and interspersed with them. This
makes them susceptible to banditry assaults on people, populations and
ultimately the state after isolated events. This situation is made worse
by the absence of effective community policing mechanisms capable of
addressing the hinterlands’ peculiar security challenges.In effect, the
incidence and prevalence of rural banditry in northwest Nigeria raises a
fundamental question about the government’s ability to govern
effectively. The state security machinery has so far failed to tackle
the scourge of banditry. This failure stems from a lack of political
will and operational challenges.
