dc.description.abstractThe 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria makes clear the makeup, organization, and operational oversight of the Nigeria Police Force. The preservation of human life and material goods is the main focus of this, among others. Currently, Nigeria is fighting an insurgency that has decimated several areas of the north-eastern region of the country. There is a paucity of research on the Nigeria Police Force's contribution to this conflict, despite the fact that the majority of studies have focused on how the Armed Forces have attempted to quell insurgency and terrorist activity. By highlighting the existence of certain of Nigeria's police special units like Explosives Ordnance Disposal (EOD), K9, Forensics, and Intelligence, a portion of their tasks can be comprehended. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the Nigerian police have helped to quell insurgency in that country. The finding reveals that the Nigeria Police are also involved in the war against insurgency. However, the lack of sophisticated equipment is a major impediment which has hindered the effectiveness of the force. The conclusion of this study recommends, among others, that the Nigerian government should enter stronger bilateral and multilateral relations with high technologically advanced nations to purchase highly sophisticated equipment to combat the insurgents. Similarly, government should share experience with those nations that have successfully fought the menace in their respective domains in order to learn the best tactics to deploy in combating the war.en_US
