Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
In Nigeria, security issues, including insurgency, communal conflicts, and crime, have been a major challenge to national stability and community peace. Adamawa State, particularly Gombi Local Government, has faced security threats from both internal conflicts and external insurgent activities (Ali & Zakari, 2023). In response to these security challenges, the Nigerian government, in collaboration with local authorities, has implemented various security policies aimed at restoring peace and order in affected regions. These policies include community policing, the establishment of security committees, and the provision of security infrastructure such as surveillance systems and checkpoints (Ibrahim & Shehu, 2023).
This study examines the impact of these security policies on community peace in Gombi Local Government, exploring how the local government's interventions have contributed to reducing insecurity and fostering peace in the community.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the implementation of various security policies in Gombi Local Government, security challenges such as communal clashes, kidnappings, and insurgent activities persist, threatening community peace (Bala & Usman, 2023). The effectiveness of these policies in addressing these challenges has been questioned, with many community members expressing concerns over the adequacy of security measures and the level of trust in security agencies. This study seeks to investigate the impact of security policies on community peace in Gombi, assess their effectiveness, and identify areas for improvement.
