No fewer than three United States military aircraft loaded with ammunition landed in Nigeria within 48 hours, signalling a significant escalation in security cooperation between Washington and Abuja.
The aircraft reportedly touched down at military bases in Borno and other northeastern states, delivering supplies to reinforce ongoing counterterrorism operations. Defence sources described the move as part of a broader strategic partnership aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s fight against insurgency.
Officials say the support includes logistics and technical collaboration, underscoring a deepening alliance as efforts intensify to restore stability in the region.
