This paper examines the phenomenon of crime–terror nexus from the standpoint of the linkage between banditry and Boko Haram insurgency in Northern Nigeria. Using a descriptive analysis predicated on a combination of primary and secondary studies, the paper reveals that both groups have functionally adapted each other’s structures and strategies. While Boko Haram and its splinter groups have occasionally engaged in acts of banditry, there has been mutual co-option by both groups as the exigencies of their operations demand. Nigeria’s drive at mitigating the banditry-terrorism conundrum must proceed with a pragmatic understanding of the gamut and dynamics of their situational nexuses.

Abstract Objectives Evidence-based practice for stroke prevention in high-income countries involves screening for abnormal transcranial Doppler (TCD) velocity and initiating regular blood transfusions for at least 1 year, followed by treatment with hydroxyurea. This practice has not been transferred to low-resource settings like Nigeria, the country with the highest global population density of SCD. Following a multi-center randomized controlled trial among children with SCA in northern Nigeria, screening for stroke and initiation of hydroxyurea was established as standard of care at the clinical trial sites and other locations. We aim to describe the critical steps we took in translating research into practice for stroke prevention in SCA in Nigeria. Guided by the PRISM framework, we describe how we translated results from a randomized controlled trial for primary prevention of stroke in children with sickle cell anemia into usual care for children with SCA in Kaduna, Nigeria. Results Findings from this study demonstrate the importance of organizational support and stakeholder involvement from the onset of a clinical trial. Having the dual objective of conducting an efficacy trial while simultaneously focusing on strategies for future implementation can significantly decrease the lag time between discovery and routine practice.

The spatial and temporal variations of rainy Gays arid daily rainfall intensity for northern Nigeria for using 54 years data are analysed, The extent and nature of non-random changes, such as trend and fluctuations are Investigated. In general, both, the rainy day frequency and mean daily rainfall intensity decreases northwards except for localized orographic effect in the north central Part of the region. There is statistical evidence or decreasing trend in the, number of rainy days over the period of study, but the trend analysis showed no significance or the mean daily rainfall intensity. This suggests that the recent decreasing rainfall trend In the region particularly In the Sahellan zone, In the result of decrease In the frequency of rainy days and not due to any significant change In the rainfall intensity.

This research aims to study the obstacles and solutions related to the application of hudud in Sharia courts in northern Nigeria; This is due to the presence of many problems when applying the hudud in Sharia courts, such as the conflict between the Federal Constitution and the Constitution of the States, especially with regard to the application of the had for theft. The researcher studied the Shariah hudud in general in terms of defining them linguistically and legally, with mentioning their types, while addressing the practical application of Shariah hudud in the Shariah courts in some northern states that were chosen as a model, these states are: Zamfara, Jigawa, Kan, Kaduna, Katsina and Bauchi states.The researcher also touched on the legal system and courts in Nigeria in general and the legal system and Sharia courts in northern Nigeria in particular, and the Islamic penal laws of the states of Zamfara, Kanbuchi and Jigawa were also discussed. The researcher used two scientific research methodologies, including: the inductive theoretical method; where he studied the subject of borders in general and the hudud of theft, especially in jurisprudence blogs, in addition to books, studies, letters, scientific articles, reports and legal documents that were written in this field and stored in libraries, websites and other sources of information. The researcher also used the applied analytical method; Where he studied the issues related to the hudud that were applied in the Sharia courts in northern Nigeria, especially with regard to the hudud of theft, and the study of the obstacles in the application of these hudud in order to find appropriate solutions to them. The researcher reached a number of results, including that Islamic Sharia is the optimal system that should be applied to obtain permanent happiness in this world and the hereafter. The application of legal borders effectively contributes to the elimination of crimes committed and prevalent in Nigerian society, especially in the northern regions. Among the findings of the research, the compatibility of Islamic criminal law with Islamic jurisprudence in most aspects, and the compatibility of the applications of Sharia courts with Islamic law in many cases. The researcher recommends the officials to carry out all the solutions mentioned in the study so that they can better apply the Sharia and implement the Sharia hudud. He also recommends to them the necessity of developing Islamic criminal law to be fully compatible with Islamic law, and the necessity of implementing all judgments issued by Sharia courts.

Despite the role of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in many health issues, their role in community mental health services in parts of northern Nigeria is unknown. This study explored the availability and role of NGOs in community-mental health care services, with a view to identifying the prospects and challenges. Using the convergent mixed methods approach, a self-constructed questionnaire and in-depth interviews were used to collect data from 205 conveniently and purposively selected study participants. Descriptive and thematic analyses were done and then triangulated to meet research objectives. There is a scarcity of mental health-related NGOs in the study areas; only one NGO engaged in the mental health activities was identified (13.4%). Surprisingly attempts by the only available NGO at providing the needed community-based mental health care were “frustrated” by certain government policy directions, which appear to paralyse activities and intentions of the only existing one. NGOs for mental health care are lacking. There is a dire need for NGO activities in mental health care. Efforts should be made to attract NGOs to the study areas in view of the increasing burden of mental health issues in the communities in the setting. Governments at all levels, community-based organisations and traditional institutions can be instrumental to this. NGOs within and outside the study areas focusing on community health in general and mental health care, in particular, may also interrogate this situation further for urgent intervention.
