We Saw Helicopters Dropping Arms, Food For Boko Haram – IDPs
— Jan 29, 2015
Displaced residents of Monguno, in Borno State, which was recently taken over by Boko Haram, have said they saw helicopters dropping arms and food items for the insurgents in the bushes.

The IDPs, who said they spent about 48 hours in the bush running towards Maiduguri, expressed worry that the Boko Haram sect was not the only ones involved in the insurgency, but that there are many foreign fighters and some external supports.

Leader of the Nigeria Vigilante Group in Monguno, Muhammed Sani,50, said he had, on several occasions, spotted unusual delivery of items in big wooden boxes by air, and sacks being dropped in the bushes around Marte and Monguno where Boko Haram terrorists were camped.

“Even during the attack on Monguno, there was an aircraft that came but did not do anything, not even dropping a single bomb before it left; then another one later came around the Monguno barracks and we saw four men alighting from the aircraft, using a rope. The aircraft left, but we doubt if they were soldiers.

“Even before then, some of my colleagues and I have been sighting helicopters dropping items in sacks and some in boxes to them at the camp of Boko Haram near Chikungudu and Kwalaram villages. Many helicopters came to drop items packed in boxes and sacks to the Boko Haram insurgents at a bush camp between Monguno and Marte; then we would see the Boko Haram gunmen rushing to the spot to pick the dropped items,” he stated.

The displaced vigilante officials said those that attacked Monguno comprised hundreds of foreigners who looked like Chadians.

“Many of them looked like Chadian Arabs – they were light-skinned with coiled hair, and there were many young men from Monguno – who Boko Haram had abducted when Nganzai was attacked last year – that were now active members of the sect.

“While Boko Haram members that are former youths of Monguno were leading other insurgents to attack Monguno town, the foreigners were the ones engaging soldiers near the barracks,” he explained.

Sani, who said he had lived in Monguno for the past 20 years, said he fled amidst the hail of bullets when the terrorists became irritated by his anti-bullet charms that rendered bullets ineffective. His shirt and trousers were riddled by bullets, yet he remained unhurt, he said.

And what is our intelligence and investigative personnel doing.
We need to do more of digging on this front and get to know the source, financial and backers of this group since the presidency says its EXTERNAL and not within

I heard this from an interview on Channels TV some days ago.
Let's stop to reason before erroneously making hasty conclusions. Now, every informed Nigerians know to fly any aircraft you need approval from the Federal Authorities. And every records of flights has an achive. Based on these... It's either it's from the Nigers or Chadian. And if not... 'it's either the results of the Federal Authorities ineptitudness or complicity for Federal Authorities.' Thank you.

And to think that the govt has been trumpeting their "achievement" of total radar coverage of Nigeria!
Does this not lead us to suspect the govt of complicity in funding and arming boko haram?

Amnesty International's before-and-after satellite images tend to miss these kinds of helicopter sightings.
