In the effort to support the ongoing security operations across the country, the United States has delivered some military supplies to Nigeria to strengthen bilateral security cooperation between the two countries.
This was disclosed by United States Africa Command AFRICOM in a statement posted on its official X handle on Tuesday.
The statement reads: “US forces delivered critical military supplies to our Nigerian partners in Abuja. This delivery, supports Nigeria’s ongoing operations and emphasizes our shared security partnership.”
As Nigeria has been battling insecurity in recent times ranging from terrorism to kidnapping, the delivery came weeks after US forces carried out airstrikes on terrorist enclaves in North-West Nigeria on Christmas Day.
The airstrike was a reaction to Donald Trump previous allegations of persecution and violence against Christians in Nigeria which was strongly rejected by the Nigerian government.
