US implicates GEJ’s, Dasuki?

The United States has provided an insight into why the country did not help Nigeria to combat Boko Haram at the height of insurgency during the administration of Goodluck Jonathan.

Ambassador Samantha Power who is the US ambassador to the United Nations said that the country was not impressed with Nigeria’s political will and corruption tendencies.

Vanguard reports that Power made this revelation at the American University of Nigeria to round off her visit to IDPs camps in Adamawa state on Saturday, April 23.

The ambassador disclosed that although the US was investing in the security aspect of Nigeria, it was not involved in combating Boko Haram.

She disclosed the U.S government was monitoring the political will of Nigeria then to tackle the insurgency but was not convinced of the country’ seriousness due to the corrupt tendencies that were associated with the issue of those fighting the insurgency.

“But, when the Muhammadu Buhari led Federal Government came on board, the U.S recognizes his full commitment to stop the insurgency and the anti-corruption crusade, the U.S has no alternative than to back the present administration.”

“The U.S, as part of our new resolve and commitment is now training a battalion of soldiers that will soon return home to face the insurgents headlong. The battalion will be a high performing one equipped with the American terrorism combat and techniques on their return.”

She commended Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon and Niger under auspices of Lake Chad Commission for their collaborative effort in combating the Boko Haram insurgents.
The United States acknowledged the seriousness of these countries in their combined efforts against terrorism and it is paying off now.”

She urged the soldiers to protect liberated tows so as to allow returnees start a fresh life.

Top military and security officials that served during the Jonathan administration are under investigation for the misuse of fund that was meant for the procurement of arms. Sambo Dasuki who was the former national security adviser has been in detention since November 2015 for his role in the misappropriation of $2.1 billion.

As a way of further destroying the potency of Boko
Haram terrorists, President Muhammadu Buhari has
approved the establishment of a naval command post in
the Lake Chad region.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) quoted the director of
Naval information, Chris Ezekobe, as saying: “There is a
presidential directive to set up a command post in the Lake
Chad Region and that is ongoing.”
The naval commodore, who spoke in Lagos on Tuesday,
March 22, informed that the naval personnel required for
the post are currently undergoing training in the north
east and would be deployed once it the directive becomes
operational.
Speaking on the three categories of forces working in the
north east, Ezekobe stated that the navy had acquired 30
repellent boats and was expecting 50 more by the end of
May to enhance security in the Niger Delta region, which
will make it difficult for the criminals to operate in that
domain.
He said: “We have improved on our surveillance capability
and the regional maritime awareness capability.
“We have increased the number of satellite stations along
the coasts. Essentially, our territorial waters are well covered
by the surveillance system.
“We have acquired one Offshore Patrol Vessel from China
and the other will arrive before the end of May.”
The spokesman added that about 70-80 per cent of the
nation’s wealth comes from the maritime environment, a
development which makes it necessary to secure the
terrain.
According to him, “We need to partner with other maritime
security agencies, the media and other stakeholders.
“It is a collective effort and we must secure that
environment to make our nation prosperous and great
again.”
The new directive is coming on the heels of series of
conquest by the Nigerian military over the insurgents in
recent weeks, the latest being the destruction of the
terrorists’ hideout in Borgozo...
