Frappes américaines au Nigéria : Tinubu n’était pas au courant, assure Alain Foka

In December 2025, the US military conducted airstrikes against Islamic State fighters in northwestern Nigeria. This sudden operation surprised many. Many wondered if Nigeria had been informed.

Abuja quickly issued a statement to reassure everyone. The president "was consulted and gave his approval".

In a recent video posted on his YouTube channel 'AFO Media', former RFI journalist Alain Foka asserts the exact opposite. According to him, the US did not "warn the (Nigerian) federal government" before striking. President Tinubu "is simply trying to put on a brave face by finding justifications for these strikes. Otherwise, in private, he admits he wasn't informed," reveals Alain Foka.

"A clear message (to Nigeria and) to oil producers who are cozying up to the BRICS"

The media personality adds that he is convinced these strikes are "a clear message to oil producers who are cozying up to the BRICS and selling their oil to China."

It goes without saying that Nigeria has expressed its intention to join the BRICS.
