…The $250 million arms deal between Aeronautics Defense Systems, from Yavneh, and the Nigerian Defense Ministry was reported in Haaretz a month ago. According to the contract, the Israeli company was to deliver unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to the Nigerian armed forces, for use in their efforts against militias and bandits operating in the Niger Delta. These attacks damage the infrastructure of Nigeria’s oil industry, and consequently its production capacity.

According to the reports, Nigeria’s national security adviser and other military officers were involved in the deal.
