NIGERIAN MILITARY ACCUSE AMERICA OF TRAINING SOLDIERS TO DISOBEY MILITARY RULES

Nigerian military alleged according to a report from Punch that the recent mutiny committed by some soldiers was as a result of the ‘negative training’ they received from US trainers, this was a major reason the Federal Government of Nigeria stopped the US from training Nigerian soldiers on counter-terrorism.

The spokesperson for US Embassy in Abuja however described the allegations as baseless
Sean J. McIntosh said, “The allegations are baseless. The third phase of training did not occur because the Nigerian Army failed to provide the necessary equipment for the training.”

He added that the US forces had not given the expected intelligence that could have been utilised by the nation’s security forces against Boko Haram.

“Our investigations show that some of the soldiers that were involved in mutiny received training in the US. These trainings often highlight negative things about the Federal Government.

“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?”
