Forbes: Corruption Probe Highlights Nigeria's Struggle Against 'World's Worst' Terrorist Group
Nigeria’s government has accused the country’s former National Security Adviser of misappropriating billions of dollars by awarding fictitious arms contracts.
The investigation, part of a wider probe of corruption in the armed forces, underlines the challenges posed by Nigeria’s ongoing governance problems in its fight against the Islamist insurgent group Boko Haram, as a new report shows that deaths from terrorism in the country increased by more than 300% over the past year.
Boko Haram has cost Nigeria an estimated $1 billion in destroyed infrastructure and billions in lost foreign direct investment.
