This paper presents an optimal control of intervention strategies for the menace of Banditry taking into account media campaign against Banditry u
2 (t) rehabilitation of Bandits detainees u5 (t) and use of military force against Banditry u6 (t) as control strategies. The Banditry free equilibrium, Banditry present equilibrium and the basic reproduction number of Banditry R0B were obtained. The stability analysis results suggest that the Banditry free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when R0B >1 and otherwise when R0B >1. The Boko Haram presence equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable when R0B >1 and unstable if R0B >1. We used the three control strategies and updated the Banditry menace model. The optimal control issue was resolved using Pontryagin's Maximum Principle (PMP). It was discovered that there is a significant decrease in the population of Bandits and increase in the number of rehabilitated Bandits and detained Bandits when the control measures are implemented compared to the case without control. We solved the optimality control using a forward-backward sweep strategy implemented in MATLAB for numerical simulation. Additionally, we saw that the number of people detained fluctuates as the number of people receiving rehabilitation rises. We argue that in order to lessen or completely erase the menace caused by Bandits in society, the government should fund media campaigns and rehabilitation initiatives.
