That's not a jettisoned fuel tank and cruise missiles do not jettison any components .

The pic clearly shows these are the main war heads.

Now why will they target Offa in kwara and a Hausa farming community and then still come out to claim the strikes targeted locations bordering Sokoto and a corridor leading to the Sahel?

S
problem with Nigeria be say we like to dey argue. Security experts and ex Navy Chief dey explain something una dey say Na warheads. Thank God tbose who stay around tanganza community has confirm explosion in the forest... In such attack deep in the forest like this, even them no born Gumi well to enter the forest and you people are asking for pictures. Do you expect our army to go into the forest just like that, am 100% sure they won't come out alive. Let the dust settle, am sure we all see pictures.

Biodun556:
A Retired Airforce Engr Explains the Spent Fuel Tank that dropped in Offa.

To strike these targets with precision without alerting the insurgents, long-range munitions (likely cruise missiles or long-endurance tactical drones) were launched from naval platforms stationed in the Gulf of Guinea, near the coast of Ghana. The flight path was a straight line from the ocean to the Sahel.That line runs directly over Kwara State.

What the people of Offa witnessed is known as ‘staging'. Long-range missiles shed weight as they fly. They drop their fuel tanks or booster rockets once the fuel is spent, allowing the warhead to continue to the target. Offa just happened to be the geographic drop-zone for that stage of the flight.

You think so?? Only a few persons probably less than 5 in the whole nation knew the target location . And this is done life with satellite zoom zone. They know and can see the targets. It works exactly how you see in the movies

Yes. The missile dropped of their fuel tanks on the way to sokoto. Unfortunately since it was shot from far away, a state in the part will be the victims
Thank God it didn’t kill anyone in Offa when the tanks dropped as they were not the intended targets
..did USA and trump know that the tank will drop when launched from a very far away distance?

What America launched was cruise missile because it has high precision capability unlike ballistic missile which doesn't good precision.
Wrong. Cruise Missile and Ballistic missiles are both high precision capability, but they have diferent use case due to their profiles.
Cruise missiles are slower, but they compensate for their speed with their low observability and low altitude flight, i.e., they cannot be easiliy detected on Air defense radar, and they also carry smaller warheads.
Ballistic missiles on the other hand are faster and they reach in0credibile speeds, and they follow a ballistic flight path, flying higher. Some even go as high as going into space before making a reentry back into earth at increadible speeds. They are used for further distance targets and carry larger war heads, Some of the can even be used to carry Nuclear warheads.

That's what they said to save face. US has been flying over our airspace daily for the past 2 weeks as reported, the aircrafts comes from Ghana daily and return. US has satelite to zoom into any target, theu can't depend on Nigeria to hit a target. Does Trump look like someone that will depend on Nigeria to act?

Absolutely incorrect

The solid fuel boosters are jettisoned approximately 1% of the flight path, which is almost immediately. Cruise missiles carry enough fuel for long range missions.

There's no way they jettisoned anything around Kwara on the way to Sokoto.

Forget these miseducated armchair experts and their halfpenny input

There's something else we're not being told.
