Malam Adamu Adamu on Boko Haram: But, what exactly has been happening? If government is not the sponsor, at least has it been really serious about the fight to uncover those behind it and stop the killings, something it will be reluctant to do if it is the sponsor? So far, for five years, security forces have been unable to crush Boko Haram or block their supply route. Without any unsolved logistical problems, they seem to be getting all they ask for. Who is financing them—and why? Who is arming them with all those heavy armaments—and how? And in spite of all the fuel scarcity in the country, who is filling the tanks of their many convoys, with 30-50-odd vehicles in a single convoy? And how can such a large attack force move without detection, coordinate its manoeuvres without difficulty, launch attack without let or hindrance, evacuate without any problems, and return to base without being apprehended—all this without telephone contact and under emergency? The Admiral has a point.
