United Kingdom plans to send
100 soldiers on a mission to help the Nigerian military fight against the
deadly insurgent group, Boko Haram.
The Telegraph reports that
the UK has already sent some of its specialists to train Nigerian troops and
sent out three RAF Tornados in search of the over 200 abducted Chibok girls.
British military chiefs
will be supporting President Goodluck Jonathan, who is under intense pressure
to defeat the sect.
The British forces will be
giving advice and technical support to the Nigerian army.
A top British military
source said: “We have a small military
training mission in Nigeria of only around a dozen. We are thinking of boosting
that by maybe up to 100 because the Nigerian Army is making woeful progress
against Boko Haram. We have a large Nigerian population in Britain and there is
a real fear that if Nigeria falls into chaos it could result in attacks here.”
British Daily Mail had
today showed a boko haram video where the sect is seen killing elderly
civilians in Nigeria.
