This paper examines the trajectory and political economy of insecurity in Katsina-Ala, Benue State, between 2010 and 2023. Employing a qualitative research methodology, data were collected through interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). The study is anchored in the Marxist Political Economy framework, which provides a lens for analyzing the underlying factors driving insecurity in the region. The findings reveal that insecurity in Katsina-Ala LGA is primarily driven by class struggle, economic deprivation, state repression, and elite exploitation. The study further shows that insecurity has significantly disrupted economic activities and led to the widespread destruction of lives and property. Based on these findings, the paper recommends economic redistribution and structural reforms as critical measures to break the cycle of insecurity in Katsina-Ala.
