ABSTRACT

The Pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus 2019 has made the governments of both developed and developing countries introduce various restrictive mechanisms in an attempt to lessen the menace and its rapid spread, Nigeria is not an exception. In Nigeria, the Federal Government restricts interstate travel, locked all offices, closed all commercial markets, and imposed a dusk to dawn curfew on the people. Security task forces were deployed across the country to enforce the restriction. Hence, this resulted in an increase in the rate of extortion and corruption among the security operatives, the volume of waste unrecycled was on the high side, ecotourism was affected as well as an increase in the occurrence of sexual assault, cyber fraud, abduction and other related vices in Nigeria. This article intends to review the security issues and social vices on the increase in Nigeria owing to the COVID 19 lockdown as well as provide possible solutions and prevent future occurrences. 

Keywords: Social vices, Security, Environment, Lockdown, Global perspectives, and Covid-19 lockdown.
