This research investigated DNA profiling and crime management in Nigeria. The major objective of the study was to find out whether the Nigeria Police are aware of how to use DNA optimally as a source of evidence in the investigation process. In Nigeria, the Nigeria Police is one of the leading agencies statutorily charged with the responsibility of providing internal security through fighting of crime. The police does this job by undertaking criminal investigation with a view to collecting evidence to be used for courtroom prosecution of criminal suspects. Since 1930 the Nigeria Police was established, it has relied mainly on the traditional (old school) method of criminal investigations based on eye witness testimonies and statements, the investigators sense of judgement and experience. Overwhelming evidence from this research points to the fact that the said method has proven ineffective, as may unsolved crimes, wrongful prosecution or conviction of innocent criminal suspects and failed courtroom prosecution litter the performance profiles of the Nigeria Police. The study concluded that the capacity level of the Nigeria Police to collect and preserve the DNA evidence as part of the agency's criminal investigation process and use same for courtroom prosecution has significant effect on the effort it makes to fight crime through DNA profiling, and that the availability or non availability of sophisticated DNA technology in Nigeria has significant effect on the effort the Nigeria police makes to fight crime through DNA profiling. The availability or non availability of a central DNA database in Nigeria has significant effect on the efforts of the Nigeria police makes to fight crime through DNA profiling.

Nigeria is faced with a number of security challenges that have threatened the existence of peace and security in the country. These threats to public safety and national security have greatly undermined the government primary responsibility of guaranteeing public safety and national security. The intractable challenges posed by Boko Haram makes a good case for the above assertion. This work, therefore reviews the applicability of Geospatial Intelligence and all its components and sub-field, with a view to understanding and or establishing their respective relevance in devising effective counter-terrorism strategies in Nigeria. This was done, taking Boko Haram activities between 2015 and 2018 for specific study, against the background of Geospatial Intelligence capabilities .The researchers utilised primary and secondary data sources in this work. The Primary data sources was from questionnaires administered physically and electronically via emails while Secondary data came from published books, journals, articles, lecture guides, videos etc. Acquired data was statistically analysed using simple percentage and Chi-Square statistics. Sequel to the statistical results, findings were made that Geospatial-Intelligence is relevant and remains the most potent frontier in developing effective counter-terrorism strategies against Boko Haram and indeed other similar insurgencies in Nigeria.

Contemporary global realities in the West have demonstrated the inestimable value of marijuana for recreational and medicinal purposes in addition to huge economic benefits. Consequently, a lot of European countries and the United States have accommodated this reality by methodically decriminalising or legalising the consumption of marijuana but rather regulated and institutionalised its production and distribution. The positive outcomes from the aforesaid arrangement cannot be over emphasised. Within the context of the above, Nigeria noted for one of the finest brands of marijuana must key into this vast economic and psycho-medical opportunities by modifying her laws and policies to harness these potentials as in the Western world. It is on this premise that this study affirms the economic benefits of marijuana or cannabis sativa (often known in our local slogan as â€œIndia hemp, igbo, we-we, ganja, weed, etcâ€). It is the view of this work that if Marijuana is methodically converted and cooperatively organised along other cash crops as export commodities, massive foreign exchange will be earned as part of the governmentâ€™s drive for a diversified economy. The study relied extensively on qualitative research design as its methodological component. Secondary sources of data were used in collection of relevant data or materials for the study, gleaned from extant literatures in the study area. In order to find the equilibrium point between decriminalisation of the management of marijuana and its political economic implications in Nigeria, while offering strategic solutions or policy recommendations.

Nigeria is currently confronted with a number of security challenges, originating from forces of religious extremism. Boko Haram is an epitome of such security challenge that has continuously destabilized the NationÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s security. It is on this ground this research work was deemed necessary to try and de-mystify the challenges of de-radicalization. The research work studied religious extremism, with focus on its causes, upon which the challenges of de-radicalizing extremists were identified. In line with the research findings, the researchers drafted measures in form of recommendations that are deemed most suitable. Ultimately, having exploited both primary and secondary sources, the researchers adopted a mixed-methodology for data analysis and came to the conclusion that Islam or Christianity in their entirety do not sanction any form of violence. As such, other factors such as socialization, economy, politics etc were explored as causative factors and these formed a base for data collection and analysis, as well as the veritable recommendations proffered to stem the deadly scourge of violent extremism and terror ravaging Nigeria and the West African sub-region.

The menace of terrorism the world over cannot be over emphasised as it remains the greatest existential threat facing mankind. All over the world, this nagging security quagmire has remained quite daunting. Consequently, countries around the world Ã¢â‚¬â€œadvanced and developing have embarked on different shades of counter terrorism measures to stem this ugly scourge. In the light of the foregoing, this study is a modest evaluative and comparative study of a tale of two states-Pakistan and Nigeria in their quest to fight this ignoble menace. As countries with similar internal and external threats with significant challenges of governance and political stability, both countries have embarked on conscious counter terrorism measures ranging from socio-economic development programmes to de-radicalisation strategies. However, while the degrees of efficiency of counter terrorism measures varies between these two countries, the study shows that Pakistan appears to have made more concerted efforts than Nigeria, even though the threats are more magnified in Pakistan due to extensive international terrorist linkages in the country. What is more relevant here however is that both countries can learn from each other experiences while making the necessary adjustments to suit local realities bearing in mind that terrorism is more of a mind thing than mere tactical and operational form of militancy by non-state actors. In reaching the above proposition, the study relied on the content analysis of historical facts sourced from secondary sources but logically arranged to provide the required social science enterprise requirements while taking responsibility for any weakness therefrom.

Contemporary Nigeria has witnessed monumental rise in crime wave and in the quest to stem the tide, government has adopted various security policies to secure the lives and property of its citizens in the past, but none of these policies have actually yielded positive results. Human abduction, armed robbery, terrorism, bomb attacks and lots more have been the order of the day in the Country. The study seeks to ascertain the impact of closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras in Abuja metropolis. Six research questions and two hypotheses were formulated to guide the study, related literatures were adequately reviewed. A population of size of 900 was selected out of which a sample size of 300 respondents, which cut across all walks of life, participated in the study. Structured questionnaire was designed and used as instrument for data collection. Data collected were analyzed using direct interpretation of results gotten from respondents. Findings of the research revealed significant relationship between closed circuit television cameras and theory of deterrence, criminal justice, fear of crime, legality, policy formation and regulation of closed circuit television (CCTV). The development of software that can be integrated with the CCTV to display a personÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s bio-data on the monitor when captured by the CCTV camera is among other recommendations for further research study.

This study investigated examined the legal correlates of cybercrime management amongst higher institution students in Nigeria with special reference to some selected tertiary institutions in Delta State, Nigeria. A correlation approach of survey research design was adopted in this study. In order to address the problem of this study, seven research questions were raised and seven research hypotheses were formulated and tested at a .05 level of significance. This study revealed that the law can provide solutions to Cyber Crime management in Nigeria. Poverty is a factor responsible for cybercrime in Nigeria. The law can promote intellectual property and ensure privacy rights. There are existing laws that adequately address challenges relating to cybercrimes. The study revealed that youths who are mostly male are the major perpetrator of cyber-crimes and the crime can be committed at any time of the day. The study found that unemployment, poverty, absence of effectual law, and corruption are the major causes of cyber-crime in the study area. Based on the findings of this study, it was therefore recommended that collective vigilance detect and report to law enforcement agencies anyone suspected to be involved in cyber-crime. The Federal Government should empower the youths in terms of job creation and regularly engage the IT organizations to develop strategies to curtail cyber-crime.
