INSECURITY AND INSURGENCY IN NIGERIA: THE ISLAMIC LAW ANTIDOTE
Insecurity and insurgency are of course negative features
of any governance. Nigeria as a country is foxed with all
forms of insecurity to wit banditry, kidnapping, insurgence
etc. This ugly development has no doubt crippled socioeconomic growth in the country thereby exposing
Nigerians to untold privations. Indeed, governments at
various levels with different approaches have tried to
perpetually arrest this ugly situation in the country but it
appears these are inadequate and ineffective. However,
Islam through its perfect legal regime (Shariᶜah) has taken
care of all facets of human endeavors, administration of
good governance inclusive. The sophisticated
arrangements provided by Islamic law makes it easy for
any Islamic-oriented government to abate any form of
insecurity. Combining analytical and doctrinal methods,
this paper takes a look at the responses and bailouts offered
by Islamic law to insecurity and insurgence, with a focus
on both classical jurisprudential principles and
contemporary interpretations. Drawing from the primary
sources of Islamic law and juristic expositions, this paper
highlights Islamic legal apparatuses aimed at ensuring
peace and preventing all forms of violence in Nigeria.
