The United States has delivered key military supplies to Nigeria.
This was revealed by United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) on X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday.
AFRICOM, which oversees US military operations across the continent, said the supplies were handed over to Nigerian partners in Abuja.
“U.S. forces delivered critical military supplies to our Nigerian partners in Abuja. This delivery supports Nigeria’s ongoing operations and emphasizes our shared security partnership,” AFRICOM stated.
The post, which tagged US Mission Nigeria, did not disclose the specific nature or quantity of the military equipment delivered.
This comes amid a broader security partnership between Nigeria and the US. On Christmas night, US forces conducted airstrikes in Sokoto State, targeting Islamic State–linked militants accused of working with the Lakurawa jihadist group and local armed bandit networks.
The strikes followed a diplomatic disagreement sparked by allegations of persecution and violence against Christians in Nigeria.
