Introduction:
Proliferation of small arms and light weapons has been identified
as a major catalyst of violence in Nigeria. Nigeria is estimated to
have about 350,000,000 illicit and unregistered firearms, according
to GunPolicy.org. There has really not been any general election in
Nigeria without election violence since 1999. Human Rights Watch,
cited the report by SBM Intelligence, and stated that; “… that 626
people were killed during the 2019 election cycle, starting with
campaigns in 2018.” Hence, political violence is common in
Nigeria.

Political Violence:
Political violence is any act or attempted act of violence
perpetrated in the course of political activities, like elections.
Violence itself is an act or attempted act that may cause any
person; any physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, verbal or
economic harm, whether it occurs in private (family setting) or
public. So, political violence is the violence that occurred or
attempted to occur in the course of politics. The acts and forms of
political violence, include; thuggery, mugging, disruption of
meetings/events and the use of dangerous weapons.
Sanction for Political Violence:
Like any other crime, there is a severe punishment for political
violence. Political violence is punishable with not more than 4
years imprisonment or fine of N500,000.00 or both. Punishment for
attempting such offence or assisting and aiding an offender is
imprisonment for not more than 2 years or fine of #300,000.00 or
both. This is according to the Violence Against Persons
(Prohibition) Act 2015 and similar laws in states across
Nigeria.
Conclusion:
Political violence is a major feature of politics, generally, in
all parts of Nigeria. With too many illicit guns and very weak
security institutions, Nigeria and Nigerians must wake up, else
violence may consume the nation. No form of violence is permitted
in the law books, from domestic violence to political violence.
While the regular criminal laws across states in Nigeria already
provide for most forms of violence, the focus on political violence
by law makers is commendable.
My authorities, are:
1. Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the Constitution of Nigeria,
1999.
2. Sections 23, 47 and 48 of the Violence Against Persons
(Prohibition) Act, 2015 and similar laws across states in
Nigeria.
