Officials of the Nigerian Army have blamed Officers of the United State Military over the continuous reported cases of mutiny among Nigerian troops.
The Nigerian army says not only has the US done nothing to help, but has made matters worse with its training of the soldiers who recently committed acts of mutiny. “Our investigations show that some of the soldiers that were involved in mutiny received training in the US,” a senior Nigerian official told the Nigerian daily, Punch, on Sunday, adding that the soldiers’ mutiny in the fight against Boko Haram Takfiri militants in recent months was due to the “negative training” they received from US trainers.
The official also said, “Another thing Nigerians should note is that since the Americans came here purportedly to help get the Chibok girls, they have not done anything. What have they done with all their technology and might? Is it not suspicious?” The official also stressed that it might not be easy to tell Americans to leave Nigeria since “they are a super power.”
In response, the US Embassy in the Nigerian capital Abuja announced it had not received any request from the Nigerian government to withdraw its forces from the country. The forces were allegedly brought into the country to assist with the rescue of the abducted girls. (Elombah)
