Major Hamza Al- Mustapha, former Nigerian military ruler General Sani Abacha’s Chief Security Officer (CSO), has claimed that wealthy people with access to weapons and hard drugs are to blame for the insecurity plaguing various parts of the country.
Major Al-Mustapha added that dealing with the current situation holistically will necessitate the participation of all patriotic residents of the country.
In order to normalize the security situation, he continued, the authorities must step on the toes of unhappy elements.
“It is high time every patriotic Nigerian, anyone who has Nigeria, Africa, or the entire world at heart, stood up and made personal contribution,” Major Al-Mustapha said in a viral VOA Hausa interview. Things are not progressing as planned.
He disclosed that there were people spending their money to cause crisis.
He said, “There are people spending their money to cause crisis and it appears they are succeeding.
“From the way, they’ve 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 explained that the few Nigerians benefitting from the country’s mineral resources seemed to be unstoppable.
