The National Security Adviser, NSA, Nuhu Ribadu, has held talks with a high-level delegation from the United States aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation in addressing the deteriorating security crisis in Nigeria.
The delegation was led by the newly confirmed US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Frank Garcia, who was making his first official visit to Nigeria since assuming office earlier this year.
Ribadu disclosed that the meeting focused on reviewing the progress of the Nigeria–US Joint Working Group and reinforcing the long-standing security partnership between both countries.
“The meeting strengthened the strong and enduring Nigeria–US partnership and assessed the progress of our Joint Working Group.
“We restated our shared commitment to deeper dialogue, cooperation and mutual security priorities”, Ribadu posted on his Facebook page.
The meeting comes at a time when Nigeria continues to grapple with a worsening security situation, with terrorists, bandits and other criminal groups carrying out deadly attacks across several parts of the country.
While kidnappings remain rampant in some regions, many communities are also facing persistent attacks that have claimed the lives of innocent citizens.
In another development, GISTSMATE MEDIA reports the Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have neutralised an Islamic State West Africa Province cameraman and recovered video materials indicating the presence of three foreign facilitators, including a Palestinian Arab identified as a trainer and a Moroccan Arab serving as a medical doctor for the terrorist group in Borno State.
The Acting Military Information Officer, Joint Task Force North East, Operation Hadin Kai, Capt. Muhammed Goni, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
According to him, the operational success was recorded on Saturday following a failed infiltration attempt by members of ISWAP terrorists into Cross Kauwa, Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State. READ MORE
