Foreign military contractors earlier engaged by Nigeria to fight against Boko Haram have vowed never to return.

Their refusal to help Nigeria combat terrorism was communicated to PRNigeria just days after North-East Governors urged President Muhammadu Buhari to engage the Services of Mercenaries.

The administration of Goodluck Jonathan covertly brought in ‘military-technical advisers’ regarded as mercenaries from South Africa and the former Soviet Union.

The fighters took the battle to terrorists in Sambisa forest and other enclaves during the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Ahead of the 2015 general election, the hitmen dealt Boko Haram severe blows day and night, a development which Regional security, defence and diplomatic sources were aware of.

There was also a tacit confirmation by Jonathan that two companies were providing “trainers and technicians” to help Nigerian forces.

Renewed calls for the return of the mercenaries was recently made following the massacre of 40 farmers at Koshebe village, a gruesome murder that sparked global outrage.

Speaking to PRNigeria, one of the facilitators of ‘soldiers of fortune’ decried the persecution and prosecution of foreigners and Nigerian counterparts who participated in the war after President Muhammadu Buhari assumed office.

He said: “In fact, some of our covert operations and activities of operatives in Nigeria including incurred casualties were exposed as working for mercenaries. Imagine that even highly classified and coded transactions for operational purposes were exposed as corruption.”

The source disclosed that some payments for operations executed are still outstanding.

“It’s easier to confirm what we did because we were able to recover dozens of towns from Boko Haram from at least three states in the North-East at the time. This is an open secret.”

He expressed disappointment that some Nigerian military and intelligence officers who participated in the 2014/2015 operation were retired, prosecuted and convicted.

The senior contractor stated that the mercenaries find it difficult to work in a country where their operations, strategy and thinking are exposed to the media and judicial processes.

The secret agent hinted that top government officials at federal and state levels are reaching out to them, but reiterated their resolve not to come back.

DAILY POST reported that the founder of Specialized Tasks, Training, Equipment and Protection (STTEP), Eeben Barlow, revealed that Buhari stopped their raids against insurgents.

Barlow said their proposal was antagonized and politicized by Buhari and his team “even before they assumed office.”

“The initial 3-phase campaign strategy (known as Operational Anvil) to degrade and destroy Boko Haram in Borno State was rejected by his advisors,” he added.

Barlow recalled that the company was willing to stay back in the Northeast but the President “made it known that the company’s presence would not be tolerated under his administration”.
