Abstract	The study attempted to examine residents’ perception of existence of violent conflict in Saki west local government area, Oyo state in south western Nigeria. It also analyzed the causes and effects of conflict in the study area with a view to knowing the adequacy of security and suggesting preventive strategies for effective conflict management in the border community. Primary and secondary data were used. Secondary data used were topographical map of Saki West local government area and census list of National Population Commission of Nigeria. Primary data were collected through interviews and a simple random sampling was used to purposively select 60 females and 100 males interviewed from compiled census lists of National Population Commission of all the 10 wards in the local government area. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square tests. Findings revealed that 80% respondents experienced one or more of victimization while about 61% respondents felt that their environment was not safe. Chi-square test also showed that there is significant difference between sex and responses to questions regarding adequacy of government resources to obviate conflict. The causes of conflict mentioned by more than half of respondents were political and religious intolerance, unemployment of young people illiteracy and election manipulation. The effect of violent conflict was said to be mainly fear and residents were wearied of the possibility of being the next victim. The study concluded that Saki west local government area was conflict-prone which was due mostly to an inadequate system of social support to obviate danger and risk of victimization.
