    Undermining the extent to which insecurity has become endemic in Nigeria currently would be tantamount to denial syndrome or refusal to accept reality. It has become a plague in which individuals’ solace for the restoration of peace and security is no longer rested in the government. In other words, citizens do not have confidence in the security system in place in Nigeria for protection of lives and properties. Whilst this is the reality, the bane of ensuring security in Nigeria hugely rests on the government. The Constitution places the duty of ensuring security on the government, and to ensure this, there are several federal security outfits and agencies (Nigeria Police, Army, Air force, NSCDC, SSS, etc.), the State Policing system (like the Amotekun in the south-west zone), and other policies put in place. The questions are, why are these efforts not yielding positive outcomes? Why do the citizens still sleep with an eye open? Why is the level of insecurity still higher than in some other countries when Nigeria is known as the giant of Africa? It is the intention of this paper to analyse and compare the security strategies of some countries with a rather low level of insecurity (having in mind the peculiarity of Nigeria as an African country) with that of Nigeria. The analysis is to reveal whether Nigeria, as a country, can learn from such strategies for the protection of lives and properties in the country. Appropriate recommendations on the better approach by the Nigerian government to curb the incessant killings and kidnappings shall be made.

    (Faculty of Law, International University Sarajevo, 2025-12-30) Ahmed Abiodun Muhammed-Mikaaeel; Halimat Tope Akaje; Eletu Khairat; Hassan Shehu Kazeem
    Wrong misconception regarding permissibility of the modern contraception for Muslim patients is common in Muslim societies. This resulted into negative perception to the modern family planning practice by contraception. This is further aggravated by divergent opinions of scholars breeding controversy on this subject. This prompts this study to embark on the justification of the permissibility of the modern contraception for Muslim patients via jurisprudential analysis. The study adopts doctrinal method to analyse various provisions of the Qur’an and Sunnah as well as juristic opinion about contraception under Islamic law. The study asserts that the practice of family planning is age-long, pre-dating Islamic era. It contends that Islamic legislation does not condemn the contraceptive practices but modified it. The study finds that the issue of contraception split scholars of Islamic jurisprudence into two: the antagonists and the protagonists. The study finds that both sides of the antagonists and the protagonists relied on the provisions from the sources of law to strengthening their arguments. The study finds that the position of the protagonists of the contraceptive method of family planning is in line with the objectives of Islamic law. The study finds that there is justification for the permissibility of the modern contraception for Muslim patients in line with maqasid Shari‘ah. The study recommends that Muslim patients have the duty to ascertain which type of contraceptive method is safe and devoid of risk from the medical experts while exercising their rights to contraception.
