 Tinubu announces arrival of 4 US attack helicopters


President Bola Tinubu has stated that four attack helicopters will soon arrive in the country from the United States amid rising insecurity.


Speaking at a meeting with a delegation of the Christian Association of Nigeria, led by its President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh, at his Lagos residence, on Friday, Dec. 26, Tinubu revealed that the Federal Government had ordered four attack helicopters from the U.S, adding that they will arrive in the country “soon”.


He said: “Our orders for four attack helicopters from the United States of America will take some time to arrive. We have approached Turkey for assistance.”


The President, however, stated that the delays were affecting the public’s perception of the administration’s commitment to addressing the security challenges.


He also said community and state police will become a reality.


“Community and State Police will be a reality once the National Assembly completes the required legislative inputs; Military hardware is difficult to replace. It is expensive and not available off the shelf,” he added.


He said the government was not relenting in its efforts to return the nation to peace and prosperity, despite the guerrilla tactics of the bandits and insurgents.


This comes after Trump took to Truth Social on Thursday, Dec. 25, to announce the US had struck in North-West Nigeria, during which several terrorists were k!lled.


The Nigerian government later confirmed the attacks and said they were carried out in collaboration with the US.
