Bauchi Central Senator, Abdul Ningi, has said that the United States breached the territorial integrity of Nigeria by using air strikes on the country’s Northwest region on Christmas day.
Ningi said this on Thursday while fielding questions in an interview on Arise Television monitored by DAILY POST.
Recall that the United States, under the directive of President Donald Trump struck terrorists’ enclave in Sokoto State with air strikes on Christmas day.
The air strikes took place after President Donald Trump of the United States designated Nigeria as a ‘Country of Particular Concern‘, CPC, in response to allegations of widespread persecution and genocide against Christians.
Afterwards, Trump said he had asked the Defence Department to prepare for possible military action in Nigeria if the Nigerian government “continues to allow the killing of Christians”.
Reacting, the Bauchi Senator said, “as far as I’m concerned about this matter that the United States military hit our land with a missile, it is a violation of our sovereignty.
“The United States military breached the territorial integrity of this country, and we, therefore, need an explanation.”
