Nigerian Lawmakers Demand Explanation Over Alleged US Airstrikes in Sokoto State

Nigerian lawmakers, including Bauchi Senator Ningi, are seeking clarification from the US government after airstrikes reportedly conducted by the US military in Nigeria. The lawmakers argue that the airstrikes, allegedly targeting terrorists in Sokoto State, violated Nigeria's sovereignty and raised concerns about potential military actions.

The Bauchi Senator, Ningi, highlighted the exclusivity of the discussions between US diplomats and Nigerian military officials, expressing worries about the lack of transparency and proper procedures. The airstrikes were reported to have killed several terrorists in Sokoto on Christmas night, prompting concerns about the legality and implications of such actions.

The Nigerian government is urged to address the situation and prevent further unauthorized military operations on Nigerian soil.
