Abstract:
This paper account for the history of arm conflict between the herdsmen and farmers in southern Katsina Emirate. The kidnapping of Chibok Girls in 2014 was an eye opener to the bandits associated with the kidnapping of school children across the states of Katsina, Zamfara, Kaduna, Kebbi and Niger. Scholars generally associate the present stage of conflict between the farmers and fulani herdsmen as the root caused of the present spede of kidnapping and cattle rustling that affects the the north-western states of Katsina, Zamfara and Sokoto states. The paper argues that the banditry in Katsina state especially Kankara areas in particular pre-date the present state of kidnapping in the area. Kidnapping of 344 children of Government Science Secondary School Kankara on the 11th December 2020, marked a landmark in the history of arm conflict affecting the area and other communities bordering the forest of Katsina and Zamfara States. This paper argues that the Boko Haram (BH) insurgency, environmental and other social parameters greatly contribute to the spate of kidnapping in the area.

Abstract:
Water is an essential commodity which affects life and livelihoods in the universe. This study examined the socioeconomic effects of seasonal domestic water supply among Kibaku People, Chibok Local Government Area, and Borno State, Nigeria. Random sampling was used to select 165 rural households and water samples for the study. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The significant water sources were hand dug well. The average trekking time to the water source was 10-101 minutes (24.8%). And the households require an average of 162 liters of water per day. The major causes of water scarcity include insufficient rainfall, increased sunlight intensity, pollution of water sources and increased population from the oral interview. About 60% of them stated water scarcity harms their socioeconomic activities as its time consuming (36.1%), causes long queues (48%) and causes conflicts at the point of collection (15.8%). However focus group discussions, interviews and personal observation, respondents believed drinking water is inadequate in Chibok. It was concluded that water available for household use is not sufficient. However, it is safe but contains some elements, not of the World Health Organization standard for good potable water. It is recommended that the community build a hub for water collection and distribution close to the village center. The government should provide water infrastructures to increase the potable water supply

Abstract:
This paper focuses on the socio-economic and financial effects of kidnapping in BirninGwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Nigeria. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data from the study area. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Chi-square (χ2) statistic was used to test the hypothesis. This study revealed that kidnapping has a significant effect on the socio-economic activities of the study area (χ2=13.849a, α=3, p-value=0.003). To enhance the reduction in the rate of kidnapping, the government needs to provide job opportunities for the youth, train the security agencies, and provide them with the necessary equipment to fight crime, especially kidnapping, in the country. The individual community should also form an active vigilante group or any other form of informal crime control mechanism to support the effort of the police to improve the level of security in the society. There is need for improved sensitization and collaboration between the security agencies and the community and all sections of society to pass the message of safety to Nigerians on the importance of reporting suspicious behaviour to the police and other security agencies.

Abstract:
The effect of banditry and kidnapping on the development of selected tertiary institutions in Nigeria, was investigated in North central Nigeria and eight (8) higher institutions with experience of bandit attack sampled in North central Nigeria which are; Government Science College, Kagara in Rafi local government areas, Niger State, Kwara State University, Malete, Kogi State University, Anyigba, Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja, Federal University of Agriculture in Makurdi (FUAM), Benue State, University of Abuja, Plateau State University and Plateau State Polytechnic. A cross sectional research design was used to analyse data collected from three hundred and twenty one (321) survey participants along eight (8) higher institutions in North Central Nigeria, in order to analyse the survey data and draft the final findings, the study made use of descriptive and inferential statistics to analyse the data of the study, the survey responses are graphically and tabular presentations, frequency, Variance Inflation Factors (VIF) were used for pretest, T-statistics and probit regression analysis was used as an inferential tools and results interpreted for finally drafting the research findings. The analysis finds that Banditry and kidnapping has 279.749 Likelihood ratio of effect on the development of tertiary institutions with the corresponding significance value is 0.000, with this we conclude that banditry and kidnapping affect the development of tertiary institutions. The probit analysis of 144.617 (0.000) and t-statistics also shows that banditry and kidnapping activities has a significant negative effect on educational activities in North central Nigeria and educational activities has a very low tolerance for banditry and kidnapping activities. The study therefore recommends that Government should strengthen the security personnel by equipping them with sophisticated weapons, communication gadgets and logistics to enable them confront the bandits head-on and employing the services of Local vigilante, who possess relevant knowledge of the terrain of the vast ungoverned forest, into the security network to get into the nooks and crannies of the area to flush out these bandits. An enabling environment should be created by the government for the youth to be gainfully employed as well.

Abstract:
Nigeria has had a chequered history of conflict situations such as civil war, inter and intra ethnic conflicts, religious conflicts among others. Northern Nigeria, in particular, has been greatly threatened by armed conflicts in recent years. Indeed, the remote northeast region is ground zero for many of the world’s most vexing problems, including an Islamic militant insurgency, crippling poverty, and declining development. In 2014, no fewer than 276 schoolgirls were abducted in Borno state by the Boko Haram sect that has ravaged the region since 2009. The audacious kidnapping brought the insurgency to world attention, triggering global outrage that galvanised support from many local and international actors. The girls have become a symbol of Nigeria’s brutal conflict. The failure of Nigeria's former government to act quickly to free the girls sparked a global Bring Back Our Girls movement. While the abduction sparked international outrage in a frantic bid to rescue the girls, some undercurrents were playing out locally that now deserve academic review. This essay is thus, an attempt to further interrogate the nature, nuances, shenanigan, politics and various rescue missions that characterise the Chibok girls’ abduction. It particularly reviews the activities of both local and international dimensions of #Bring Back Our Girls campaign within the socio-cultural and political contexts of the time while putting on spotlight issues of post-trauma facilities expected for the rescued girls and the fate of those still in captivity.

In particular, the research looked at how youth unemployment in Ogbaru Local Government Area has impacted poverty and how much it has affected social vices. The research used a survey methodology. The study's sample of 400 respondents was chosen from a group of 221,879 using Yamane's 1976 sample size calculation formula. A percentage and frequency table was used to evaluate the data from the structured questionnaire, and multiple regressions were used to verify the hypotheses. According to the study, youth unemployment has led to an increase in social vices like kidnapping, prostitution, robbery, and thuggery in the Ogbaru local government area. Therefore, the study suggests that in order to address the unemployment issue in Anambra State, Nigeria, government at all levels should generate more employment opportunities. To reduce youth unemployment in Nigeria, the government should also set up centers for vocational training and talent development.

Abstract:
This paper examines the abduction of the schoolgirls in Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State, Nigeria in 2014. The paper examined how the abduction of the schoolgirls generated responses and support for the rescue of the abducted girls from people and organization from different parts of the globe. The Islamists terrorist organization operating in Borno State has attracted the attention of the world since 2009 when they started attacking government establishments and security installations northeast which later escalated to major cities in Northern Nigeria. Methodologically, the paper utilized secondary sources of data to analyze the phenomenon studied. The paper revealed that the development and innovations in information and communication technology which dismantled traditional and colonial boundaries enabled people to express support, solidarity and assist victims of conflict who resides millions of Kilometers away. This shows that Internet-based communications technology has reduced the distance of time and space that characterised traditional mass media. The campaign for the release of the schoolgirls on the social media platforms particularly Twitter and Facebook has tremendously contributed to the release of some of them. Furthermore, the girls freed from abduction have received proper attention: education and reintegration programmes which enable them to start post-abduction life. In this regard, social media has become a tool for supporting the government in moments of security challenges which the Bring Back Our Girls campaign attracted foreign and domestic assistance to Nigeria in the search of the abducted girls and the fight against the Islamist insurgents.

Abstract:
The research focused on effects of armed banditry on socio-economic activities of Kontagora Local Government Area of Niger State. The study adopted a descriptive survey method. Samples of 260 respondents were selected from the most affected communities where banditry activities were rampant. Routine activity theory was adopted to explain the issue under investigation.

Abstract:
The study assessed the involvement of criminal gangs in the farmers-herders conflict in the Guma Local Government Area of Benue State. The specific objectives of the study were to examine the extent of criminal gangs’ involvement in the farmers-herders conflict, assess the activities of criminal gangs in the farmers-herders conflict and determine the impacts of these activities on the farmers’ herders’ conflict in Guma Local Government Area of Benue State. The explorative and cross-sectional designs were adopted for the study. The sample size for the study was made up of 368 respondents comprising victims of the conflict, security agencies, and traditional and religious leaders while questionnaires and key informant interviews were used as methods of data collection. Collected data was analyzed with the use of tables, frequencies, percentages and figures. The findings of the study revealed that criminal gangs are highly involved in the farmers-herders conflict in the study area. Cattle rustling, kidnapping for ransom, armed robbery, and arms trafficking among others were found as the major activities engaged in by criminal gangs in the study area. These activities contribute to increased violence, fear and mistrust, and displacement of communities, impeding conflict resolution efforts, and exacerbating the existing tensions. Based on the findings, the study recommends a multi-faceted approach, including improved security measures, community engagement, and socio-economic interventions to address the root causes of criminal gangs' involvement in the conflict.
