BOKO HARAM: America cancels training of Nigerian soldiers (See Proof)

The United States has announced the cancellation of
the training of a battalion of the Nigeria Army, at the
request of the Federal Government. It said that the
first two phases of the training were conducted
between April and August, 2014, noting that it had
provided untrained civilian with basic skills.
A statement from the Information Office of the US
Embassy, on Monday, regretted what it described as
the premature termination of the exercise programme,
which it said would have trained the Nigerian soldiers
to build their capacity to counter the Boko Haram
terrorists.
The statement from the US reads: "At the request of
the Nigerian government, the United States will
discontinue its training of a Nigerian Army battalion.
The first two phases of training were conducted
between April and August 2014, and had provided
previously untrained civilian personnel with basic
soldiering skills.
"Based on mutual assessment of the Nigerian Army
and U.S. trainers, a third iteration of training was
agreed upon with the intent of developing the
battalion into a unit with advanced infantry skills. "We
regret the premature termination of this training, as it
was to be the first in a larger planned project that
would have trained additional units with the goal of
helping the Nigerian Army build capacity to counter
Boko Haram.
