The United States forces say they have rescued an American citizen who is being held hostage in northern Nigeria.

In a statement, Jonathan Hoffman, the Pentagon spokesman, said the rescue operation was conducted on Saturday morning.

The American was reportedly abducted in Niger Republic on Tuesday and subsequently moved to Nigeria.

“U.S. forces conducted a hostage rescue operation during the early hours of 31 October in Northern Nigeria to recover an American citizen held hostage by a group of armed men,” the statement quoted by CNN read.

“This American citizen is safe and is now in the care of the U.S. Department of State. No U.S military personnel were injured during the operation.

“We appreciate the support of our international partners in conducting this operation. The United States will continue to protect our people and our interests anywhere in the world.”

ARREWA come and see the disgraceful acts of your brothers Lols, the terrorists in the north are the people that deserves to be shot at not the innocent civilians at lekki

I believe our Nigerian Army knows what to do to end this nonesence but refuse to do it...

But they needed to help our President and NA cover their lies and shame.

Thats what happened when a trained army meet civilians with arm but Nigerian soldier only bring things like this to pass when they want to protect their oga office in a battle ground like Lekki

But our own gallant soldiers are still organising operations like “operation scorpion weep, operation crocodile tears, operation rhinoceros smile”

See how their foreign counterparts came to rescue a citizen in a far away nation

Why is nobody talking about Nigeria's sovereignty that was violated?

I don't think the USA would take it lightly for any country to enter it's territorial space without permission.

they did the same to Pakistan during their raid on bin laden. Well I agree with you. But let us see the action the government would take. Or they might have asked the government for permissions
