US Surveillance Flights Over Nigeria Amid Rising Insecurity
The US has been conducting surveillance flights over Nigeria to gather intelligence on rising insecurity, particularly focusing on tracking militant groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP. This comes after President Trump's threats of military intervention due to perceived government failure in protecting Christian communities.
The surveillance flights, operated by Tenax Aerospace, have heightened security concerns in the region. The US aims to rebuild its intelligence surveillance capacity in West Africa following the expulsion of US troops from Niger.
The mission includes tracking the kidnapping of a US pilot and monitoring militant activities in Nigeria.
