Boko Haram crisis: Nigeria fury over US arms refusal


Na wa o let them give us these weapons nau..smh

Nigeria’s ambassador to the US has criticised Washington for refusing to sell his government “lethal” weapons to fight militant Islamists.

Nigeria needed support to deliver the “killer punch”, not “light jabs” against the Boko Haram group, Adebowale Ibidapo Adefuye said.

His comments came as the militants seized the north-eastern Mahia town.

The US has previously ruled out heavily arming the Nigerian military because of its alleged poor human rights record.
