How lopsided selection of security chiefs is affecting the fight against insecurity - former minister

The former minister added that the lopsided selection of security chiefs has an impact on the fight against insecurity.

“The security agencies — many people forget that they are recruited on a state-by-state basis, so every state is represented,” he said.
