Even I don't trust them I really doubt this is China because they have numerous partnerships throughout the continent and whatever they need they can get elsewhere. The attacks and terrorism here points to the U.S/EU with M.E involvement. I mean this is obvious but I wonder why the government is so quiet regarding this.

U.S. officials have been unusually frank – and unusually public — in their assessment of the competence and effectiveness of the Nigerian military. The officials presented their analysis last Thursday, when they were questioned by lawmakers about whether the Nigerian military was capable of rescuing – or even locating – the more than 260 girls abducted by Boko Haram last month.U.S. military and intelligence officials said that even with international help, the Nigerian military was too corrupt and too incompetent to play a meaningful role in rescuing the girls. “We’re now looking at a military force that’s, quite frankly, becoming afraid to even engage,” Alice Friend, the Pentagon’s principal director for African affairs, said of the Nigerian military. “The Nigerian military has the same challenges with corruption that every other institution in Nigeria does. Much of the funding that goes to the Nigerian military is skimmed off the top, if you will.” There is another obstacle to U.S.military help to Nigeria: Friend told lawmakers that finding Nigerian army units which have not been involved in gross violations of human rights has been a “persistent and very troubling limitation” on American efforts to work with the Nigerian military.
Many U.S. lawmakers support an increased U.S.role in the effort to rescue the abducted girls – and, more generally, an increased U.S. role in helping to Nigerian authorities offer more effective security to the Nigerian people — but the Pentagon has let it be known that getting involved in Nigeria would be unacceptably risky.
