Nigeria is facing a severe insecurity crisis, with various forms of violence and criminal activities rampant across the country. The Boko Haram insurgency in the northeast has led to thousands of deaths, displacements, and human rights abuses. The group's attacks on civilians, military personnel, and infrastructure have created a sense of fear and uncertainty.

In addition to the Boko Haram threat, Nigeria is also grappling with banditry, kidnapping, and armed robbery. These crimes have become increasingly common, particularly in the northwest and north-central regions. The lack of effective security measures and the proliferation of weapons have emboldened criminals, making it difficult for citizens to feel safe.

The herder-farmer conflict is another significant security concern in Nigeria. The competition for land and resources between herders and farmers has led to violent clashes, resulting in deaths and displacement. This conflict has also been exploited by criminal elements, further exacerbating the security situation.

The Niger Delta region faces unique security challenges, including militancy, piracy, and oil theft. The region's instability has had a significant impact on the country's economy, as it is a major oil-producing area. The government has struggled to address the root causes of the conflict, leading to a persistent sense of insecurity.

The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has been actively engaged in a separatist movement in the Southeast region of Nigeria, seeking independence for the Biafran people. IPOB's activities sit-at-home orders and advocacy for self-determination, but have also been associated with violent clashes with security forces, resulting in loss of lives and property.

Below is the list of security teams meant to solve the country's insecurity
