Is the incompetence of the Nigerian administration to blame for the secret sale of weapons to Takfiri Boko Haram terrorists? Rights organizations are understandably concerned.

This is because a new report has linked the terror group – already responsible for over 20,000 deaths in the country – to arms and ammunition from corrupt army officers.

Military authorities have confirmed that some soldiers were selling arms and ammunition to Boko Haram, calling it a betrayal of the Nigerian people, but what about the western governments continuing to arm Nigeria’s forces despite the dangers of weaponry falling into the wrong hands?
