Boko haram insurgents and anti-aircraft guns

This is interesting. For those of us who operate here in Nigeria, please have a look at this weblink page of an article published today by the Guardian newspaper in Nigeria. Boko Haram Faction Executes Foreign Hostages

Boko haram insurgents and anti-aircraft guns

I read they even have long range and anti aircraft missiles( this isn't good news for Nigerian carriers) How can turban tying face covering terrorists afford this? If the government of Nigeria know their sponsors why can't they arrest them? If the Boko haram group want amnesty why don't they drop their weapons and have a leader go into dialogue with President GEJ....... It just makes me wonder if power and money rules above making the right decisions for the entire populace of Nigeria

An unfortunate fallout from the collapse of Ghadaffi's regime in Libya.

It was widely reported at the time that a large cache of arms and ammunition was headed into Chad, Niger and Nigeria.

What did our security services do.....Your guess as good as mine.

Nigeria's norther borders, no I rephrase, all borders in Nigeria are porous.

perhaps the rapid exchanging of padded brown envelopes as a national sport doesn't help matters.
