According to US network TV NBC, most of the Islamic terror group’s
weapons are either stolen from Nigerian military stocks or purchased on
the thriving Central African arms black market, say the experts,
including current and former U.S. officials.
While many have often wondered where the insurgents source their
weaponry from, given both the sophistication and the sheer
number, ThisDay reports that the group blamed for last month’s
kidnapping of nearly 300 Nigerian schoolgirls routinely raids police
stations and military bases in search of weapons
It was also gathered that in some cases, Boko Haram sympathizers in the Nigerian military abet the theft.
