US Mission commends Nigerian Govt for capturing terrorist leaders.

The US Mission in Nigeria has commended the Nigerian government and security forces for their successful operation that led to the arrest of two top Ansaru terrorist leaders, Mahmud Muhammad Usman (aka Abu Bara’a) and Mahmud al-Nigeri (aka Mallam Mamuda). 

The US Mission described the operation as a win in Nigeria's quest to end terrorism, highlighting the importance of collaboration between the Nigerian government and international partners in combating terrorism. 

The Mission further said that the arrested leaders were wanted by Nigeria, the US, UK, and UN, therefore, their capture marks a decisive blow against Ansaru since its inception in 2012.

The federal government has been working to strengthen its counter-terrorism capabilities, with support from international partners like the US which have assisted Nigeria in areas such as intelligence sharing, capacity building, and operational support to enhance the country's effectiveness in combating insurgency and terrorism.
