How Nigeria, South Africa moved to swap Synagogue collapse victims’ bodies for arms

While Nigerians wait for closure on the $15 million arms money seized by South African prosecutors, authorities in the two countries appear to have agreed on an unholy barter to exchange bodies of South Africans who died in the Synagogue Church collapse in Nigeria, for South African-made arms needed by Nigeria to fight Boko Haram, The Mail and Guardian, one of South Africa’s most respected newspapers, has reported.

South Africa confiscated the money from arms brokers who travelled there to procure arms for the Nigerian military.
