It’s almost unfathomable: that soldiers in Nigeria’s military may be working as moles for Boko Haram, giving the terrorist group vital information about the military’s strategies and tactics. That’s what the Nigerian military is claiming, and it’s arrested those soldiers that it suspects are working as double agents for Boko Haram, AllAfricais reporting. Nigeria’s military is fighting Boko Haram insurgents and working to rescue the abducted schoolgirls and other kidnapped victims, but its efforts are reportedly being sabotaged. The information that Boko Haram obtained from its spies led to a series of ambushes that resulted in many Nigerian soldiers being killed. “It was gathered that the alleged moles among the soldiers leaked the information on the deployment of soldiers from Maimalari Barracks in April this year to the terrorists, which led to an ambush and killing of so many soldiers of the 101 Battalion,” the news site explained. Military commanders are putting the pieces together and revisiting all the incidents in which Boko Haram succeeded because it might have had intelligence about secret operations. For instance, a Nigerian fighter jet was downed in early September and Boko Haram said it shot it down. Military officials suspect that a spy told Boko Haram about the plane’s departure plans. - See more at: abujavoice/nigerian-soldiers-arrested-for-working-as-spies-for-boko-haram/#sthash.I8572Gxd.dpuf
