President Mohammadu Buhari has accused the US Government for Aiding and Abetting Boko Haram

The Nigerian President  Mohammadu Buhari has accused the United States for indirectly aiding and abetting the sects that have being terrorizing Nigeria Boko Haram. This was as a result  US denial of Nigeria access to Military Arsenal to deal with the insurgency of the sect.

He made this clear while speaking yesterday Wednesday in Washington DC at the United States  Institute  of  Peace  USIP and really frowned at the “Leahy Law” by the US Government based on unsubstantiated human rights abuse by the Nigerian military.

The President  wants the US to give Nigeria assistant in the fight with the insurgent with minimal strings attached “far more substantial counter-terrorism assistance with minimal strings”  and the President added 

 “Regrettably the blanket application of the Leahy Law by the United States  on the grounds of unproven allegations of human rights violation leveled against  our forces has denied us access to appropriate strategic weapons to prosecute the war against the insurgent”

Mohammadu Buhari came out blunt as he can and  said “Unwittingly, and I dare say, unintentionally, the application of the Leahy Law amendment by the US Government  has aided and abetted the Boko Haram terrorist group in the prosecution of its extremist ideology and hate, the indiscriminate killings and maiming of civilians, in raping of  women and  girls, and in their other heinous crimes”
