Katsina State Governor Aminu Bello Masari has stated that the number of police officers in his state is insufficient to combat insecurity.
On Tuesday, he spoke in an interview to the BBC Hausa Service in Kaduna.
He claimed that, while the Federal Government is in charge of security, the soldiers stationed in the 36 states and Abuja providing security were insufficient.
He claims that “protecting oneself from harm is natural….we have less than 4 thousand policemen in Katsina with 34 Local Governments and an 8 million population.”
“We’ve a local government where the policemen there are not more than 30 with only 10 guns. And they have over 100 villages.”
