Daesh in Iraq and Syria are or were indeed well-funded and equipped, especially after they seized most of the reserves at the Mosul branch of the central bank.

Daesh in Iraq and Syria are or were indeed well-funded and equipped, especially after they seized most of the reserves at the Mosul branch of the central bank. But I’m a bit confused as to how they’d manage to get substantial quantities of military equipment to Nigeria. I imagine it is at the very least rather difficult and expensive to do so, so they probably wouldn’t go round sending equipment willy-nilly.
