A Nigerian soldier is arrested for tipping off criminals – but does it go deeper?

Multiple armed groups have been carrying out violent attacks in Nigeria for over 10 years now A Nigerian soldier has been arrested over allegations he supplied military uniforms to "terrorist" and "criminal" groups, the army says.

It is not unreasonable to believe some of these groups are being assisted by military personnel, Bashir Galma, a security analyst and retired army major, told the BBC.

The suspect was arrested trying to flee into neighbouring Cameroon, the army says Now, in a nation that for over a decade has been blighted by armed attacks on civilians, people are wondering whether these assaults are failing to subside because criminal elements and security personnel are working together.
