dc.description.abstractThe paper argues that distinctions made between formal and non-formal security institutions in the context of Nigeria are often hasty and misleading. Informal policing systems are patronized by the poor for a variety of reasons which include: their knowledge of local communities and inner recesses of society, a grassroots outlook, the protection of neighbourhoods from criminal attacks, and speedy provision of safety and security services. The study reviews cooperation between informal and formal state security providers, as well as historical background, and some of the major players in the hybridization of the security sector.en
