Bello Matawalle, the minister of state for defence, has alleged that conflict entrepreneurs, who profit from the region’s security issue, are connected to the persistent banditry in the North-West.
The claim was made on Sunday during an interview in Abuja with the News Agency of Nigeria by the former governor of Zamfara State.
He said, “Banditry has its economy, which is fuelling the crime in the country. Conflict entrepreneurs don’t want insecurity to finish in this country. Many people in the North are part of the business.
