A former Deputy Governor of Kaduna State, Bala Bantex has said that people are benefitting from insecurity in Nigeria and would not want it to end.

He stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.

“There are some people sitting out there who are benefitting from this and who would not let it go in a hurry,” he said in reaction to President Muhammadu Buhari’s directives to service chiefs for insecurity to end in the coming weeks.

“If the President has passed that directive, I trust his ability to provide what the service chiefs require. I don’t want to see a situation where it is only in their exit like the former Chief of Army Staff who at one time said insurgency had become a thing of the past.”

Amid the myriads of security challenges facing the country, the ex-deputy governor said there was a need for the Federal Government to create state police.

He however called on the National Assembly to create the necessary legislation for the creation of state police.
