A scholar and senior fellow at the Centre for Democracy and Development, Prof. Jibrin Ibrahim has warned that establishing French, US military bases in Nigeria will not help terror war.
Soldiers of an airborne brigade of the US Army are seen at the Adazi Military Base of the Latvian armed forces in Adazi,
Ibrahim noted that the presence of French and American military bases in Nigeria won’t help the fight against terrorism in any way as claimed by some proponents of the move. He said, “The French have been in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger for 12 years. During that period, terrorism grew, it became completely out of control, arms to terrorists continued to flow, and they were controlling more and more territories.
The leaders claimed that they have intelligence that the American and French governments have been lobbying the Nigerian side to site their military bases following their inglorious exit from Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger Republic by the junta-led regime.
