 BENUE LEADERS PRAISE U.S. AIR STRIKES ON TERRORISTS, URGE EXTENSION TO NORTH-CENTRAL, NORTH-EAST

Leaders of various tribal groups in Benue State have commended the United States for recent air strikes against Islamic State militants in north-west Nigeria, describing the action as a decisive step in the fight against terrorism.


In a statement cited by Vanguard News, the leaders praised U.S. President Donald Trump for authorising the strikes, which reportedly targeted Islamic State camps in Sokoto State and led to the death of several militants. The air strikes, announced on Christmas Day 2025, were presented by the U.S. president as a response to sustained attacks, particularly against Christian communities.


The Benue leaders said the intervention could serve as a strong deterrent to terrorist activities across the country. However, they called on the U.S. and its partners to extend similar operations to the North-East and North-Central zones, where insurgent groups such as Boko Haram and ISWAP, alongside armed herdsmen, have continued to unleash violence.


They noted that Benue State, located in the North-Central region and widely known as the “Food Basket of the Nation,” has suffered repeated attacks that have claimed lives, displaced communities and destroyed farmlands.


According to the leaders, expanding targeted air operations to other troubled regions would complement local security efforts and help restore lasting peace. They expressed hope that sustained international support, in collaboration with Nigerian authorities, would strengthen the campaign against terrorism nationwide.
