Some US-based Nigerians are calling for a national and international probe that will uncover the sources of funding of Boko Haram, especially regarding how the terrorist group gets its deadly arms and weapons, Empowered Newswire reports.
In a chat with Sahara Reporters news agency after addressing an international press conference in Washington DC, Dr. James Fadele, the Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigerian-Americans (CANAN), said it is now imperative for concerned governments, international agencies, global bodies and think tanks to carry out a probe on how the Boko Haram militants are able to get deadly weapons to carry out their mayhem in Nigeria.
The CANAN leader spoke just as the association, which was formed last month in New York, launched its DC/Maryland regional chapter earlier this week. The event took place at an event in Jesus House DC, located in Silver Spring, Maryland, and was attended by Nigerian religious leaders from churches such as the RCCG, Gospel Faith Missions, Jubilee Christian Church International and Christ Apostolic Church.
