Abstract
confront the seemingly insurmountable situation. The menace of Boko-Haram crisis in northeast, violent farmer-herder crisis in southwest and north-central states, banditry and kidnapping in Southeast and south-south regions have great effect on socio-economic life of Nigerians. To arrest this situation, in different location gave rise to desire for complementary security arrangement (in some cases with backing from federal or state governments). While some opinion molders and policy formulators have in these circumstances advocated for a comprehensive overhaul of some or all these governmental agencies. This paper thoroughly appraises the role of complementing outfits such as community policing and local vigilante outfits like Ebube Agu of Southeast, Amotekun of Southwest and Niger Delta Volunteer Force of South-South in sustainable economic development through augmentation of national security. This study confirms the positive activities of the vigilantes, request that various tiers of government to develop synergistic efforts of these vigilantes’ and other state security services for the betterment of the Nigeria security apparatus.
