Boko Haram: U.S Congressional Delegation Visits Maiduguri

Sequel to their visit to Nigeria on Monday, four United States Congress delegates, on Tuesday, visited Maiduguri to observe ongoing counter-insurgency operation in the state by the Nigerian military.

Led by Senator Christopher Coons, the delegation met with military commanders at the Military Command and Control Centre (MCCC), Maimalari Barrack in Maiduguri.

Speaking to newsmen at the end of their meeting, Coons said, “We came to see the hard work that the Nigerian military is doing here. The US is in great support of the counter-terrorism and insurgency war by Nigeria and she will continue to support it. We’ve identified more areas of cooperation on security and war against terror.”
