December 30, (THEWILL) – Major Hamza Al-Mustapha (rtd), the former Chief Security Officer (CSO) to the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha, has alleged that some wealthy individuals with access to weapons and hard drugs were behind the insecurity across the country.
To deal with the present situation holistically, Major Al-Mustapha said it required the contribution of all patriotic citizens of the country.
He said that the authorities have to step on the toes of disgruntled elements in an effort to normalise the security situation.
Major Al-Mustapha, who spoke on a VOA Hausa Service said, “it is high time every patriotic Nigerian, anyone who has Nigeria, Africa or the entire world at heart, stood up and made a personal contribution. Things are not moving as expected.”
He disclosed that there were people spending their money to cause crises.
“There are people spending their money to cause crises and it appears they are succeeding.
“From the way, they have access to weapons today in Africa, and different kinds of drugs, and from the kind of people that are given such things and they are using it, these have shown that the strength they have has started to overpower the laws of African countries, especially here in Nigeria”, he added.
Al-Mustapha said the few Nigerians benefitting from the country’s mineral resources seemed to be unstoppable.
