A Warri-based lawyer, Owen Nanakumor, has expressed support for the United States Army’s recent military operations against terrorist groups in North-West Nigeria. The lawyer described the US Army’s presence in the region as a positive development. In a statement, Nanakumor emphasized the importance of not only targeting terrorist strongholds but also identifying and exposing their sponsors to ensure a comprehensive victory.
According to reports, the US Army commenced airstrikes against terrorist groups in North-West Nigeria on December 25, 2025. This move is seen as a significant escalation in the fight against terrorism in the region. Nanakumor urged the US Army to apprehend the sponsors of these terrorist groups, stating that this would be crucial in winning the war against terrorism.
The lawyer’s comments come as the Nigerian government continues to grapple with the threat of terrorism in the North-West region. The presence of US forces in the region is aimed at providing support to the Nigerian military in their efforts to combat terrorism. Nanakumor praised the US government, led by President Donald Trump, for their intervention, expressing gratitude for their efforts to protect innocent Nigerian citizens.
The US Army’s involvement in the region marks a significant shift in the international community’s response to the growing threat of terrorism in Nigeria. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the US Army’s operations will impact the overall security situation in the region. The Nigerian government has been facing criticism for its handling of the terrorism crisis, and the involvement of the US Army may be seen as a welcome development by many Nigerians who have been affected by the violence.
In the coming days, it is expected that the US Army will continue to carry out airstrikes against terrorist groups in the region. The success of these operations will depend on various factors, including the ability of the US Army to identify and target the sponsors of these groups. As the international community continues to monitor the situation, it is clear that the fight against terrorism in Nigeria will require a sustained and coordinated effort from all stakeholders involved.
