Finally, Bandits have now been designated as terrorists, allowing for tougher sanctions under the terrorism prevention act for suspected shooters, their informants, and supporters such as those caught supplying them with fuel and food. However, the conflict is becoming more and more deadly as the security forces are struggling to deal with the problem. It is not a hidden fact that resources of the military are stretched thin as they respond to crisis across the country.
Sadly, banditry and other causes of insecurity in the North have been allowed to degenerate into a complex national emergency. This mirrors exactly what happened with the Boko Haram insurgency. From sporadic incidents, Boko Haram began launching systematic attacks targeted at individuals, communities and, eventually, the state. Thus, there’s no more effective solution than tactical synergy between grassroots vigilantes and the state security operatives.
This makes the involvement of local vigilantes and community watch groups, who have a better knowledge of the terrain, more important. The successes recorded by the Civilian Joint Task Force, comprising local vigilantes and volunteer neighborhood watchers, in combating the Boko Haram insurgency in the Lake Chad Basin shows the possible value of this sort of community policing.
