Sponsors of Boko Haram Are Desperate To Stop the Re-Election of President Buhari

Sponsors of Boko Haram behind new terrorist attacks to stop the reelection of President Muhammadu Buhari.
They include millionaire arms dealers in the Sahel region.

The renewed incessant attacks of Boko Haram in 2018 are following the same pattern of 2014 before the 2015 presidential election.

2014 remains the worst year of Boko Haram terrorist attacks and herdsmen attacks
In 2014, media sources reported 7,711 deaths due to Boko Haram-related violence. Largely due to Boko Haram, Nigeria faced an increase of more than 300% in terrorism-related deaths in 2014. The main elements that constitute the capabilities of Boko Haram are recruits, financing sources and weaponry.

Hathorn and Abbott (2015) claimed that Boko Haram used the saturated post-conflict markets across West Africa, from Western Sahara down to Benin, together with Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger.

The insurgents have been provoked by the victories of the Nigerian military since  2016 to date
In 2018, troops of "Operation Lafiya Dole" successfully recovered some battle tanks and other weapons from Boko Haram.

Superior military intelligences is what is needed to end the insurgency of Boko Haram and not the purchase of new weapons for the Nigerian military.
