PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has secured a
major concession from President Barrack Obama
during his ongoing visit to Washington after the
US agreed to sell Nigeria Apache Attack
helicopters to facilitate the fight against Boko
Haram.
During the tenure of President Goodluck
Jonathan, the US rejected repeated requests from
the Nigerian government to sell it the helicopters,
raising objections to the human rights abuses of
the military. It is believed the US was also fearful
that the corruption within the Nigerian military
made it likely that the helicopters could end up in
the hands of Boko Haram as several soldiers
were leaking secrets to the terrorists.
This lack of equipment, according to the
Jonathan administration, was responsible for the
slow reaction of the military in the fight against
Boko Haram. However, it appears that having got
assurances from President Buhari that human
rights abuses will be looked at and corruption will
be fought, President Obama has decided to
unblock the sale of the helicopters.
US law forbids the sale of certain arms to
militaries accused of gross human rights abuses.
Amnesty International had accused the Nigerian
Army's leadership of complicity in the death of
about 8,000 detainees in the battle against Boko
Haram.
Grant Harris of the US National Security Council,
said: "We're looking forward to what we can do
with a president who has staked out an agenda
that we think is the right agenda at the right
time." It is believed that the US has agreed to sell
eight advanced Apache attack helicopters to
Nigeria in a deal worth around $500m.
US political analyst Goldman Anthony, said:
"Privately, the new security commanders are
warning of no quick fixes. They are arguing that
Boko Haram infiltration of the army and civilian
structures is a major unresolved difficulty."

Hopefully. This is the same amount Dasuki swindle the FG to buy refurbished non combat helicopters that wasted the lives of our brave airforce pilots.

Nice moves from America

..Really the AH46 Gunships... I doubt the Nigerian Military have sufficient intelligence-training to fly this baby even as a simulator. it is not just a Gunship.. it is a sophisticated computer - played the Simulation in War Game. It is as close to real as it gets without leaving your chair. It requires an intelligent person to fly the real thing and use it
