Nigeria's ambassador to Washington has blasted the United States for refusing to sell his country the weapons needed to deliver "the killer punch" to defeat Boko Haram militants. In a speech made public Tuesday, Ambassador Adebowale Adefuye also dismissed as "rumours, hear-says and exaggerated accounts" allegations of human rights abuses by the Nigerian army in its crackdown on the Islamist extremists.
"The Nigerian leadership... are not satisfied with the scope, nature and content of the United States' support for us in our struggle against terrorists," Adefuye told members of the Council on Foreign Relations on Monday.
