The insurgency that plagues Nigeria today is the handiwork of some top and influential persons in country, Hamza Al-Mustapha, the presidential candidate of Action Alliance (AA), has said.
Al-Mustapha, the former chief security officer to late military dictator, Sani Abacha, made this known in an interview on Trust TV’s Daily Politics.
He said he had x-rayed Nigeria’s problems and he was ready to face them if elected president on February 25.
He said, “You know if you want to solve the problem, you need to look at data that ordinary eyes don’t see. I looked at the casualties from the side of security personnels including military, paramilitary and police, the killing of people and attacking them.
“To many people who can give you different times of occurrence and re-occurrence, appearance or reappearance of effect of insurgency in Nigeria come from time to time but the beginning from its conception to its actualization to the pains inflicted on Nigerians started on 1st November 1999.
“Whether it is understood on time is another thing, whether the actors were understood, whether who are sponsoring them were known earlier the records are there.
“So the insurgency in Nigeria is man made, if you go into the causes, if you go into the actors and the statement taken from them, and then if you go into their activities, supplies of logistics like weapons, money and the indoctrination.
“I have the privilege unfortunately or fortunately, I was imprisoned with them. I didn’t run away from them, I didn’t keep them aside, for the interest of my country I need to know. We had an argument with some of them on the role they played, among them are highly educated ones. I saw masters degree holders among them so I interrogated most of them.”
