Boko Haram terrorists group has remain the major national problem that the Nigeria federal government has been battling since 2009. Thousands have been killed in various attacks in northern Nigeria states of Borno, Yobe, Adamawa Kano and recently Kastina state among others by the Boko Haram and other groups.
The new incriminating phone call which emerged on Tuesday, according to a report by the AFP, is the latest blow to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has been hit by a corruption probe ensnaring his key allies and a widening phone-tapping scandal.
In a tape posted on YouTube, Mehmet Karatas, an assistant executive of the airline, allegedly tells Mustafa Varank, an advisor to Erdogan, that he feels guilty over national flag carrier's arms shipment to Nigeria.
"I do not know whether these (weapons) will kill Muslims or Christians. I feel sinful," Karatas is allegedly heard saying.
The leaked call has the potential to harm the airline's image — which is 49 percent state-owned and is in an aggressive push to become a global player.
It is the latest in a series of recordings implicating Erdogan and his aides in corruption and other abuses of power ahead of crucial local polls on March 30.
The Turkish strongman has dismissed most of the tapes as "vile" fakes put together by rivals.
If this incriminating phone record is through, then the claims by the military and many others that the insurgence group were non Nigerian considering their enormous professionalism in the display and handling of weapons, and that they (BH) have international backing should be given a deep considerations.
The Nigeria government under president Goodluck Jonathan need to checkmate and monitor closely, the activities of the foreign embassies in Nigeria as there were allegations also that United State of America embassy in Nigeria is also coordinating the Boko Haram attacks in Nigeria.
The Boko Haram Islamist Insurgency will surely be cruised !
