Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan would soon meet with President Barak Obama and the British Prime Minister, David Cameron to discuss why the two countries have refused to sell arms that would empower the Nigerian Military in fighting members of the dreaded terrorist group, Boko Haram.
Vanguard reports that a source within the presidency revealed that the meeting became imperative following the Federal Government’s inability to procure necessary arms and ammunition to fight terrorists in the north eastern part of the country.
The meeting was sparked by the glaring unwillingness of the American and British governments to assist Nigerian security operatives with arms and training, a development that made the federal government recently turned to Russia and China for help with its military requirements.
It was reported that more than 1,000 Nigerian soldiers and other security operatives are in Russia for training by the country’s security personnel.
A Presidential official who did not want to be named because he was not authorized to speak on the matter said American government officials have made several regular public commitments on assisting Nigerian security operatives in fighting terrorism, but revealed that they are not doing anything to help.
**Something just seems to not be adding up in this regards, America has refused to help?? UK as well?**
