In response to a directive by US President Donald Trump ordering the military to prepare for a possible strike in Nigeria, the US military has reportedly submitted contingency plans for potential military action in Nigeria.
President Trump had alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria.
The New York Times disclosed this in its report titled “US Military Draws Up Nigeria Plans, With Limited Options to Quell Violence,” published on Wednesday.
The report indicates that the US Africa Command drew up its plans and submitted the same to the Department of War this week as requested by Secretary Pete Hegseth.
According to the report, the contingency plan from the African Command included three options: light, medium, and heavy.
The military officials told the New York Times that the “heavy option” presented by the command is the most forceful military response the US could take against Nigeria.
Recall that President Trump on Friday last week named Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern following claims of Christians being massacred.
He subsequently placed the US Department of War on a red alert, stating that if the Nigerian government fails to curtail the killing of Christians, the US military will strike.
