Weapons from the Nigerian military are whisked away by Boko Haram terrorist and they terrorize citizens with them.

The Chairman of Senate Committee on Army, Ali Ndume made this disclosure. He noted that Boko Haram also obtain arms from Chad and Libya.

The Senator representing Borno South said the notorious insurgent group turned to stealing weapons from the military owing to their pessimism to not give up territories in the Northeast.

Ndume told Channels TV Politics Today that the current Nigerian army is set to put pressure on the terrorists.

He said:

“The insurgents now are desperate in getting arms and ammunition and the arms they use the ones they succeeded in carting away from Nigerian soldiers and other security forces.

“I know that small arms are coming from Libya and Chad but the bulk of equipment they use are the ones they succeeded in stealing from our armed forces”, he said.

Meanwhile, Ghgossip had reported that Ali Ndume pleaded with President Muhammadu Buhari to divert the fat salaries of politicians for a good cause by using it to fight insecurity in the country.

Ndume interacted with journalists in Abuja, where he opined that the government should be able to fund for its security when the need arises.

He said:  “The President should make the issue of security a priority. He should leave every other thing and concentrate on security. That means even if they will stop paying us and use the money to tackle security. Is it not when you are secured that you talk of other things? It is not only the politicians but everybody.

“If you know that you cannot move out of your house and they say sacrifice your salary, won’t you do it? Many people are working from home, yet they are being paid. They should stop paying salaries and address the whole issue of insecurity. If you don’t have money, stop paying salaries and allowances and use the money to provide security, If you are borrowing money to provide infrastructure, why can’t we borrow money to protect our people.”

” This blame game should stop. As far as I am concerned, this blame game will not solve the problem. Governors are the chief security officers of their states, so, why are they talking about the President without talking about themselves? The governors are deviating from the matter. The problem is not about open grazing.
