There are reports that troops fighting the boko haram insurgency in the north east are experiencing serious hardship over the inability of the federal government to provide them with minesweepers and arms to fight the book haram insurgency.
Investigations showed that boko haram insurgents planted mines along major road and bush paths which impeded troops movement, it was gathered that for troops to move from one location to another, they had to resort to the use of hand held mines detectors currently in use,it was also learnt that the troops lacked helicopter gunship needed to fight in deserts. The soldiers stated that much have not change since former President Goodluck Jonathan left office in case of arms supply. "Sometimes,we borrow arms from other units which are not involved in any operations to fight the insurgents which leaves them defenseless in case of sudden attack which is not good"source said
