#Firstpost LIVE | US Approves $346m Arms Sale to Nigeria Amid Boko Haram Insurgency | Firstpost Africa | N18G
The United States has approved a major arms package for Nigeria, signalling a deepening defence partnership between the two countries. The $346 million deal includes 1,000 500-pound bombs, laser-guided kits, high-tech fuzes, over 5,000 precision-guided rockets, and other bomb components, along with technical and logistical support from U.S. contractors. The sale, executed by Lockheed Martin, RTX Missiles & Defence, and BAE Systems, comes amid decades-long insurgency by Boko Haram and ISWAP in Nigeria’s northeast. The move has sparked debate over human rights, as the Nigerian military has mistakenly killed civilians in several airstrikes this year, highlighting ongoing operational risks.
