‘how Boko Haram Fighters Are Getting Weapons’ by opportunes(op): 7:27am On Jul 03, 2020
The weapons and hardware being used by Boko Haram insurgents were looted and carted away during invasions on military formations in the northeast, according to Military sources.

They were reacting to the claim by the Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Major-General John Enenche, that the military does not know those sponsoring terrorist groups in the country and how they get their weapons.

“It is not correct to say that the weapons being showcased by the terrorists are anything different from those procured for us,” one of the sources said. “The candid truth is that most of these vehicles, armour tanks and other military hardware were stolen from our bases.

Recall that in most displaced military locations, they looted our arms and ammunition to fuel their operations. Most of the vehicles they use were snatched from our frontlines troops. “Another means is that they get weapons from neighbouring Lake Chad countries at giveaway prices. It is easier to move arms and ammunition to Lake Chad Basin because of porous borders,” the source said.

A public affairs analyst, Abubakar M. Kareto, said the Boko Haram insurgents have several means of funding their operations including taxation of locals, raids on villages, kidnapping and looting of military formations.

And you guys can't track them and recover your stolen equipmentshuh

An individual will steal a TV in Lagos and travel to Sokoto. within 3 days Inspector Kyari and his unit would track, arrest and recover the TV. But, something as big and mighty like armoured tanks will disappear and nothing will happen and you want us to believe this terrorists are not sponsored.

Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Major-General John Enenche sounds to me of late like an empty barrel. So much noise, no action.

Re: ‘how Boko Haram Fighters Are Getting Weapons’ by Racoon(m):
Ystdy, he was stupidly telling beleaguered Nigerians that it was not the responsibility of the army to expose BH sponsors.

Today here he is again saying the same BH they've repeatedly claimed to have technically defeated" have been getting weapons from numerous raids on the same army.Yet they have been releasing them as repented, rehabilitated and deradicalized BH terrorists?

Pastor Paul Eneche really need to direct his prayers to this his brother & the useless army he is serving.This confirms that everyone under this evil APC govt is a BH supporters & sponsors simple.
Re: ‘how Boko Haram Fighters Are Getting Weapons’ by dangermouse(m):
Then it would be obvious that they amassed there weapons from the Nigerian Army. How then do the Same Nigerian soldiers complain of superior fire power on each encounter with the terrorists?. How is it that most weapons recovered from them are more sophisticated than that of the Nigerian Army?. What do i know sef?. Babe abeg one more shot of sapele water.

Some of those trucks claiming to be offloading fuel for users in northern Nigeria via Lagos are weapon carriers from the jihad murderers. Their are no checkpoints after all for the trucks till they reach their destination.
