Jonathan Govt-ordered Arms Yet To Arrive – Dasuki by Emmatdayo(m): 5:59pm On Aug 06, 2015
The immediate past National Security Adviser, Col.
Sambo Dasuki(retd.), has said some arms and
ammunition, ordered during the government of
former President Goodluck Jonathan, have yet to
arrive in country.
The former NSA said some elements, whose
identities he did not disclose, were frustrating the
nation’s efforts to get the critically needed equipment
to fight the terror sect, Boko Haram.
Dasuki said these in an interview with PR Nigeria, an
Abuja-based media consultancy outfit, consulting for
the Nigerian military and security agencies.
According to him, the former government, a a point,
queried some arm suppliers for the delay in the
supply of the items paid for by the government.
He said some of the equipment procured by the
Jonathan administration would arrive the country
soon, but was not specific about the time.
“It was unfortunate that some elements are
frustrating the efforts as we even had to query some
suppliers for the delay in the delivery of arms and
ammunition,” Dasuki said.
The former security chief, whose Abuja and Sokoto
residences were raided by operatives of the
Department of State Services recently, explained that
the previous administration acquired a lot of highly
sophisticated equipment to fight and reclaim 22 local
government areas from the insurgents after years of
frustration by some countries.
He listed the items to include “Alpha jets, APCs,
MRAP vehicles, advanced artillery pieces, assorted
arms and ammunitions, highly sophisticated
surveillance drones, T72 and carried out modification
of F7 supersonic jet fighters.”
The arms also included armoured tanks with
comprehensive NBC protection system, Mine-
Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles with capacity to
withstand explosions, Improvised Explosive Devices
and assorted Armoured Personnel Carriers with
effective protective system against small arms fire
and shrapnel.
He said the equipment were effectively utilised to
recover 22 local government areas then under Boko
Haram’s control and prevented the Boko Haram from
disrupting the 2015 election.
Dasuki added that the security forces were able to
use the equipment to prevent the leader of the sect,
Abubakar Shekau, from releasing videos of threats
against the country. www.punchng.com/politics/jonathan-govt-ordered-arms-yet-to-arrive-dasuki/
