U.S. Did Not Seek Nigeria’s Approval Before Airstrikes On Terrorists In North-West, CISLAC’s Rafsanjani Says
Civil society leader and CISLAC Executive Director, Auwal Rafsanjani, has claimed that the United States carried out recent airstrikes against terrorist targets in Nigeria’s North-West without informing or obtaining approval from the Nigerian government. Speaking on Arise Television, Rafsanjani criticised the federal government’s response, describing it as an attempt at damage control rather than a firm assertion of national sovereignty. He linked the incident to Nigeria’s weak foreign policy and failure to protect lives and property, while warning against framing insecurity as a religious conflict. The claims contradict Nigeria’s official position, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, insisted that President Bola Tinubu personally approved the joint counterterrorism operation with the U.S.
