UK DEPLOYS ARMY TO NIGERIA TO COMBAT BOKO HARAM

The United Kingdom has deployed 35 military personnel in Nigeria as part of ongoing efforts to train Nigerian Armed Forces to combat the Islamist terrorist group, Boko Haram.

The personnel, who were deployed from the Second Battalion, the Royal Anglian Regiment, would provide infantry training for Nigerian soldiers and also provide assistance in countering improvised explosive devices, as well as medical training and advice, all in efforts to tackle the extremist group Boko Haram.

A statement by the Press and Public Relations Affairs Officer, British High Commission, Joe Abuku, on Wednesday in Abuja, said the number of British personnel deployed on training tasks in Nigeria was expected to reach 300.

The statement partly read, “Almost 1,000 Nigerian Army personnel had benefitted from training to prepare them for counter-insurgency operations in the North-East, and the work by 2 RANGLIAN, known as The Poachers, is now well-recognised across the AFN.

“The UK also supports a Nigerian intelligence and analysis cell focused on the North-East and based in Abuja, and nearly 30 UK Armed Forces personnel are deployed in Nigeria on an enduring basis in training and advisory roles.”
