Abstract

Violent religious conflict causes and aggravates insecurity. this paper rises to question the role played by 21st century North-Central Nigeria political office holders and security agencies in the task of addressing religious conflicts and insecurity. the analysis of data drawn from observation and secondary sources reveals that these two sets of sate agents donot only fail in carrying out the task, but also incite, sponsor and manipulate members of their religious groups against members of other groups.
