The United States withdraws its military forces from Nigeria that were deployed for a joint counterterrorism operation, according to statements by General Dagvin R.M. Anderson, commander of U.S. Air Forces in Europe–Air Forces Africa. Both outlets report that the troop pullout follows the completion of the operation. Anderson says the broader partnership between Washington and Abuja continues, with cooperation remaining active in key areas such as intelligence sharing. In particular, the officials point to ongoing intelligence work aimed at the Islamic State (ISIS/Daesh). The reports describe the change as a reduction or redeployment of U.S. forces rather than an end to security ties. They also indicate that other forms of security cooperation continue alongside intelligence support, though they do not provide further operational details such as the number of troops withdrawn or specific locations. Overall, the communications emphasize continuity in counterterrorism collaboration through information exchange while U.S. troops deployed for the joint effort are no longer in Nigeria.
