RULAAC Calls on Tinubu Govt to Clarify Legal Basis for US Airstrikes in Sokoto
The Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre (RULAAC) has urged President Bola Tinubu’s government to clarify the legal, institutional, and accountability framework behind the U.S. airstrikes in Sokoto State on Christmas Day.
In a statement signed by Executive Director Okechukwu Nwanguma, RULAAC acknowledged Nigeria’s responsibility to combat terrorism but emphasized that operations involving foreign forces must respect sovereignty, civilian protection, and the rule of law.
RULAAC highlighted concerns about conflicting narratives and lack of transparency surrounding the airstrikes. The organization called for answers on:
The scope of Nigeria’s consent to the operation
Control and oversight exercised over the U.S. strikes
Safeguards against civilian harm
Accountability mechanisms in case of violations
The group stressed that foreign military actions cannot substitute for addressing underlying governance failures, including weak policing, lack of prosecution for terrorism sponsors, and institutional gaps.
RULAAC also warned against framing Nigeria’s security crisis along religious lines, stating that the issue is impunity versus justice. It called for lawful governance, rights-respecting community policing, and institutional reforms as essential to long-term security.
