Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari(PMB) has warned that the US's refusal to provide Nigeria with weapons in effect supports terror group Boko Haram's insurgence.

The leader made the comments a few days after meeting US President Barack Obama earlier this week (20 July 2015), during which the US president praised Buhari for his commitment to fighting terrorism and corruption. The two leaders are seeking to improve relations, which had deteriorated during Goodluck Jonathan's administration that came to an end in May of this year.

Following the meeting, Buhari cirticised the Leahy Law, which forbids the US government from providing military assistance or funding to countries that commit – or are suspected of committing – gross human rights abuses with impunity.

The Nigerian government has been often criticised for its persecution of homosexuals, who risk up to 14 years in jail if found guilty of displaying involvement in same-sex organisations or relationships. Rights group Amnesty International has also accused the Nigerian army of committing war crimes and being responsible for the death of at least 8,000 people. The army rejected the accusations, and Buhari has said he will investigate into the allegations.

local petty comrades said there was no reason.

What is Buhari investigating again. He had caused Gej of human right abuses in the fight against bokoharam ,hence US was right for not selling arms to Nigeria. Buhari's accusation has backfired. Mimesis, too bad What is Buhari investigating again. He had caused Gej of human right abuses in the fight against bokoharam ,hence US was right for not selling arms to Nigeria.
