Nigerian Christian Elders Back US Airstrikes to Combat Insecurity

The Northern Christian elders, represented by the NOSCEF chairman Sunday Oibe, endorse US airstrikes on terrorist targets in North West Nigeria to address the escalating insecurity crisis. They emphasize the urgent need for support to combat criminal bandits and restore peace in the country.

Oibe insists on decisive collaborative action with the Nigerian government fully involved in the process. The elders criticize opposition to foreign military intervention, highlighting the necessity of eliminating groups responsible for killing innocent citizens, as seen in recent attacks in Maiduguri.

They stress the importance of international support to uproot evil and ensure Nigerians can live freely without fear of attacks.
