The US delivered critical military equipment to Nigeria, reinforcing security cooperation with Africa’s most populous nation as it seeks to curb terrorism, banditry and kidnappings that have destabilized large parts of the country.

The “delivery supports Nigeria’s ongoing operations and emphasizes our shared security partnership,” the US Africa Command said in a X post on Tuesday.
