The post, which tagged US Mission Nigeria, did not disclose the specific nature or quantity of the military
equipment delivered.
This comes amid a broader security partnership between Nigeria and the US. On Christmas night, US forces conducted airstrikes in Sokoto State, targeting Islamic State–linked militants accused of working with the Lakurawa jihadist group and local armed bandit networks.
The strikes followed a diplomatic disagreement sparked by allegations of persecution and violence against Christians in Nigeria.
US President Donald Trump had previously described the situation as “genocide,” an assertion that was strongly rejected by the Nigerian government.
