Indications have emerged that the United
States’ government is sending arms to the Nigerian military in its efforts to
crush Boko Haram.
Facts that the US is sending arms to Nigeria came on
the heels of the US Ambassador to Nigeria, James Entwistle’s revelation.
According to Reports, the US Defence
Security Cooperation Agency records, show that the country’s Department of
Defence is set to transfer military material to Nigeria.
The US government was also sending armoured vehicles
known as MaxxPro MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected), made by Navistar
Defence.
It is unclear which Nigerian military
units will receive the equipment, but the report said that the US government
had confirmed that deliveries were pending.
