| Abstract: | The inefficiency of the Nigerian police to protect the lives and properties of the people has led to community efforts to provide their own security. Scholars have highlighted corruption, brutality, authoritarian and repressive postures, high level of extortion, high cost of assessing police services, poverty, and non-personal interactions with police officers as some of the reasons Nigerians have lost faith in the police security efficacy. The people, in order to protect their lives and properties, have established and entrust their security to various vigilante groups in Nigeria, which is as a result of lack of quick response of Nigerian security personnel, particularly the Nigeria Police, when called upon to rescue a crime scene. Vigilantism has become the first point of contact for victims of crime and insecurity. It is in view of this, that this study was embarked to examine Vigilantism, Crime control and the Socio-Economic and Cultural factors In Akinyele area of Ibadan. This study was strictly qualitative and was anchored on the Broken window theory and social control theory and was conducted in Akinyele area of Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Structured Key informant interview guide and structured in-depth interview guide was used to collect data from 18 respondents comprising of head of vigilante groups, chairmen of landlord associations in three selected communities, community members, community heads of selected communities in Akinyele area of Ibadan. The data was analyzed using content analysis and ethnographic summaries. This study discovered that vigilante groups stepped in to fill security lapses created by the Nigerian police in respect to securing lives and properties of the community not only in Akinyele area of Ibadan but also in other parts of Nigerian society. Residence of Akinyele area of Ibadan and its environment have been occasionally terrorized by armed robbery cases and other crime related issues resulting to economic loose prior to the establishment and operations of vigilante groups in Akinyele area of Ibadan. The vigilante groups played a significant role in the reduction of crime and insecurity in Akinyele area of Ibadan. Moreover, the major challenges of the vigilante groups include but not limited to lack of adequate logistics, like patrolling vehicles, communication gadgets, modern weapons and riffles, lack of salary and financial motivations, lack of adequate personnel amongst other challenges. There is a cordial relationship between the police and vigilante groups, in Akinyele area of Ibadan. This study therefore, recommends that state and local governments should approve a salary scale for the Vigilante groups which will enable them collect monthly salaries, logistics such as patrol vehicles and communication gadgets should be made available to the Vigilantes. Also, legislators should consider the approval of the use of modern riffles for the vigilante groups, before handing guns over to them, there is need for adequate training and retraining on how to use these ammunitions. Any member of the group that will handle any of the ammunitions must undergo psychological and emotional test to ascertain his emotional stability before these ammunitions will be handed over to such person for operations. |
