Youths are termed as the active category from which so much is expected to achieve the societal uoals like economic prosperity, political stability and social justice. Using interview method of data collection, the paper combines both library and field work to investigate into the acts of thuggery among youth in Lafia Local Go\ eminent of Nasarawa State. The research found that politicians and some hooligans use financial inducement to lure the Muslim youth in Lafia Local Government to unnecessarily engage in political thuggery and general social disturbances which signal negative political atmosphere in Lafia Local Government. The research found again that lives and properties were destroyed, people’s image was tarnished and there was general political dissatisfaction. The research recommends among other things that the Imams should preach peace and bring out theconsequences of thuggery to the notice of worshippers. | en_US |
