We handed electronic materials recovered from terrorists to US forces - Nigerian Military

The Nigerian military has dismissed claims by a senior US official that American forces seized a large cache of electronic materials from terrorists during an operation in Nigeria. Director of Defence Information Brig-Gen Samalia Uba explained that the materials contained declassified information from previous operations and were voluntarily provided to the US as part of ongoing counter-terrorism cooperation. US official Sebastian Gorka had claimed that US forces killed 199 jihadists and seized the largest volume of enemy electronic intelligence since 9/11. The Nigerian military clarified that it was not a new operation but part of a long-standing security partnership between the two countries.
