Background of the Study
In recent years, Nigeria has faced an increase in rural banditry, especially in the north-western states such as Zamfara. These criminal activities, often involving attacks on villages, kidnapping for ransom, and cattle rustling, have disrupted farming, displaced local populations, and severely impacted the socio-economic life of affected regions. The Zamfara Central region, being one of the most affected areas, has witnessed escalating insecurity that has hindered agricultural productivity and development.
President Bola Tinubu, who took office in May 2023, made security a priority during his campaign, vowing to address the growing insecurity in Nigeria. His administration has outlined various policies aimed at tackling banditry, including the reorganization of security forces, improved intelligence gathering, and community-based approaches to curbing violence.
This study aims to investigate the impact of President Bola Tinubu’s security policies on the incidence of rural banditry in Zamfara Central. It will assess whether the security initiatives have led to a reduction in criminal activities, improvements in the safety of rural communities, and their potential to restore normalcy to the agricultural economy.
Statement of the Problem
Rural banditry in Zamfara Central has become a significant threat to the safety, livelihood, and economic stability of its residents. Despite various efforts by the government at both the state and federal levels, the problem persists. President Bola Tinubu’s security policies are relatively new, and it remains unclear whether they have had a tangible impact on curbing banditry in the region. There is a need for an empirical investigation to assess the effectiveness of these policies and provide insights into their role in addressing this critical issue.
