Farmers are displaced from their lands, markets are deserted, and supply chains are disrupted, leading to food insecurity and loss of income. This study examined the Impact of Banditry on Economic Sustainability in Benue South Senatorial District of Nigeria. The study area includes Ado, Agatu, Apa, Ogbadibo and Okpokwu LGAs. The estimated population of the selected LGA for this study is 1,015,400 inhabitants. The sample size of 400 was carefully selected using Random sampling techniques. The study revealed that poverty, unemployment, political marginalization, land disputes especially herder-farmer conflicts, and the proliferation of small arms are the major drivers of banditry in Benue South. Also, the study found that trade and farming is adversely affected as many farmers abandon their farms while traders abandon their shops or reduces operations due to insecurity. Finally, the study revealed that community cohesion is weakened, which further limits the potential for collective economic recovery and resilience. The study concluded that banditry in Benue South Senatorial District is driven by a combination of economic hardship, political neglect, and social fragmentation. Based on the findings, the study recommended that government should adopt comprehensive, multidimensional strategies that address these root causes. Government at all levels should prioritize poverty alleviation and job creation by implementing rural economic development programs, particularly those that empower youths and women through vocational training, access to credit, and support for agro-processing and small-scale enterprises.
