Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
In recent years, the rise of insecurity due to insurgency and armed banditry in Nigeria has necessitated the establishment of vigilante groups, especially in rural areas. Mubi South, located in Adamawa State, is one of the regions significantly affected by these security challenges. Vigilante groups have emerged as a local response to the growing insecurity, often working in collaboration with state security agencies to protect communities and restore law and order. These groups have played a crucial role in ensuring economic security, especially for local businesses and farmers whose livelihoods are threatened by criminal activities.
Despite their contribution to security, the effectiveness of vigilante groups in securing economic livelihoods and fostering local economic stability remains an under-researched topic. This study aims to assess the impact of vigilante groups on economic security in Mubi South, focusing on how their activities contribute to protecting businesses, agriculture, and trade from the disruptions caused by insecurity.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
The growing insecurity in Mubi South has severely affected economic activities, with businesses, farmers, and traders facing frequent disruptions. While state security forces have made efforts to combat these threats, vigilante groups have become a primary support mechanism for ensuring the safety of economic activities. However, there is a need for a comprehensive evaluation of how these groups influence economic security, and whether their interventions lead to more sustainable economic development in the region.
