Interrogating Community Roles in Funding Security Agencies in Nigeria

Abstract

Security has remained a fundamental need of any society. Sometimes, it requires the multi-stakeholder approach to sustain functional security operatives in most communities. This paper seeks to examine how local communities in Nigeria participate in funding security operatives within their local thereby contributing to national security. Paper shows that communities invest in their own security through volunteer donations and levies aimed at providing certain logistics such as accommodation to security operatives in their community.
