Chapter One: Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study
Electoral violence is a major challenge in democratic societies, particularly in countries like Nigeria, where elections are often accompanied by conflict and disruption. The role of security agencies in preventing electoral violence is crucial to ensuring peaceful elections. In Jalingo Local Government, Taraba State, the presence of security agencies such as the police, military, and other law enforcement bodies has been pivotal in maintaining peace during elections. However, despite these efforts, electoral violence persists. This study examines the effectiveness of security agencies in preventing electoral violence and their challenges in Jalingo.

This study seeks to evaluate the role of these agencies and the impact of their interventions in preventing electoral violence.
