Help Nigeria defeat terrorism through access to US weapons and technology. Exempt Nigeria from Leahy Amendment now!

Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has said the application of the Leahy law amendment by the United States government has aided and abetted the violent activities of the Boko Haram sect in the country. Its blanket application by the US on the grounds of unproven allegations of human rights violations has denied the country access to appropriate strategic weapons to prosecute the war against the terrorists.The Leahy Law prohibits the US from providing military assistance to foreign military units that violate human rights. The rescue of almost 300 Chibok girls from the captivity of the terrorists, who kidnapped them from their schools more than a year ago, has been hampered by lack of access to top-grade weaponry. This is the time for all hands to be on deck to defeat the terrorists.
