Dauda Lawal said the uninspiring attitude of the police and the military was responsible for the creation of the state security outfit, Community Protection Guards.
Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State has lamented the laidback attitude of the police and the military in combating the menace of banditry plaguing the North-West state.
“We, as governors, don’t have control over the military, we don’t have control over the police as well as the civil defence. In most cases, we get frustrated,” the governor said during a live appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Tuesday.
“When you need these people, they are nowhere to be found and the best thing to do is to set up that kind of security outfit.”
