Traditional rulers hold the key to the success or failure in security administration in Nigeria because they operate at the grassroots of the society and interact closely with people in their daily activities consequent upon which they are highly respected. This study examined the role of traditional rulers in maintaining peace and harmony in Nigeria. Simple random sampling with proportionate representation was used to determine sample size of 100 respondents from the population. Structured questionnaire was used for data collection and this was supplemented with interview of key informants. Data were analysed and represented clearly and vividly using frequency tables and percentages. Results showed the roles of traditional rulers in Nigeria which include; to chair meetings of council of elders of the community, give advice to local government officials for development of their locality, make sure law and order prevail in the community, etc. It was recommended that Traditional institutions should be strengthened and used as a means of conflict management and peace-building in the region.
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the Study
It is important to concede that the area of the study has attracted the minds of various scholars and researchers. Yet it is the concern of this study to examine and relate such research endeavors on traditional authority to the contemporary security challenges in Nigeria. The exact nature and patterns of governance-cum, socio-economic inter-relationship between the traditional rulers and contemporary security situations will improve our understanding of the criminal justice system specifically in resolving issues of socio-political insecurity and religious conflicts thereby restoring social order, peace, harmony and stability. The general objective of the paper is to examine the role of traditional rulers in security administration from pre 1804 period, 1804-1903, 1903-1960 and 1960 and beyond; identify the structures, institutions as well as social changes on contemporary security in Nigeria. This is done by comparing roles of leadership of traditional rulers. The study will significantly contribute towards research efforts to dispute the claim. The findings of this research hopefully will put the roles and legacies of the traditional rulers into proper perspective to bear on the contemporary security situation/matter in Nigeria…..Chapter one continues
