Nigeria’s effort to overcome Boko Haram faces another problem with refusal by the Saudi Arabia to grant over-flight permits to cargo planes conveying military equipment and armoured tanks procured by the Nigerian government from Pakistan, ThisDay informs.
This decision made by the Saudi government can cause a big diplomatic scandal because it is well known that Jonathan’s administration aims at ending the insurgency in the North-east before the 2015 election.
Goodluck Jonathan has given the permission to military authorities to procure arms from alternative sources such as Pakistan and Russia other than Nigeria’s traditional allies led by the United States of America, United Kingdom and France.
According to ThisDay’s source, the decision  was premised on Nigeria’s displeasure with the US after the country blocked the sale of American-manufactured Cobra attack helicopters from Israel.
Because of the West’s position, Nigeria decided to turn to the East, mainly Pakistan, from which the federal government was able to procure a huge cache of military hardware.

We were shown a deep hole where the leader of the group threatened to bury us alive at a point if any of us refused to play along, and at another time he picked a big gun and threatened to shoot anyone who fails to obey his command.”
