President Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly against all odds struck a $258 million deal with a Saudi Arabia ‘Blackwater’ military contractor to help the Nigerian Armed Forces in fighting militants in the oil-rich Niger Delta region in the southern part of Nigeria. A shock to Nigerians as the deal does not include to fight the known terrorist groups: Boko haram the world deadliest terrorist group and Fulani herdsmen the Nigerian deadliest terrorist group. This is part of the deal the President signed which included Nigeria in the Islamic military alliance, a deal the Christian association of Nigeria has since condemned.
The Saudi military contractor is led by Anwar Eshki, a retired Saudi general who is a former top adviser to the Saudi government.
Meanwhile the Niger Delta Avengers have voiced their readiness to engage with the so called mercenary from Saudi Arabia.
