The Federal Government of Nigeria has reacted to recent US missile strikes on terrorist targets in the North West.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs made this known via a press statement signed by its spokesperson, Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa.
Recall Dockaysworld reported that US President Donald Trump announced that he had ordered missile strikes on terrorist targets in northern Nigeria.
The ministry said the strikes were part of ongoing security cooperation and intelligence sharing with the United States.
It added that Nigerian authorities remain engaged in “structured security cooperation” with international partners to address terrorism and violent extremism.
The ministry said the collaboration led to “precision hits on terrorist targets in Nigeria by air strikes in the North West.”
All counterterrorism efforts, the ministry said, are guided by the need to protect civilian lives and uphold the rights and dignity of all citizens, regardless of faith or ethnicity.
“Terrorist violence in any form whether directed at Christians, Muslims, or other communities remains an affront to Nigeria’s values and international peace and security,” the statement added.
The ministry said the cooperation with the United States includes intelligence sharing, strategic coordination, and other support carried out in line with international law and respect for Nigeria’s sovereignty.
It said the government continues to work to weaken terrorist networks, disrupt their financing and logistics, and prevent cross-border threats.
The ministry said it will continue to engage relevant partners and keep the public informed through official channels.
