The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has said it has information on the United States airstrikes carried out against terrorists in Sokoto State, but will not make such details public.
The Force Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, stated this in an interview, saying the police would not comment on the operation.
He added that the operation involved cooperation with other agencies, but should be addressed by defence authorities.

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, is yet to receive any formal notice of impeachment from the State House of Assembly, three days after 27 lawmakers initiated impeachment proceedings against him and his deputy, Prof. Ngozi Odu.
The impeachment move was commenced last Thursday by the majority members of the Assembly, who are loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, over alleged misconduct.
Although the Speaker of the Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, had stated that the impeachment letter would be delivered to the governor, a source at the Government House disclosed on Monday evening that no official communication had been received.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said neither the governor nor his deputy had seen any impeachment notice.
“I can tell you that the governor and his deputy have not received or reviewed any notice from the Assembly,” the source said.
“The governor only returned from an overseas trip on Sunday and attended the Armed Forces Remembrance Day church service. He has also been busy inspecting ongoing projects across the state.”
Meanwhile, two lawmakers aligned with the pro-Wike bloc have withdrawn support for the impeachment, urging their colleagues to suspend the process and explore alternative ways to resolve the political crisis.
Speaking at a press conference in Port Harcourt on Monday, the Minority Leader of the House and member representing Omuma State Constituency, Sylvanus Nwankwo, appealed for restraint and dialogue.
“We are calling on our colleagues to temper justice with mercy and find a solution outside the impeachment process,” Nwankwo said, adding that the appeal followed interventions by elders and leaders within and outside the state.
Also speaking, the lawmaker representing Degema State Constituency, Peter Abbey, echoed the call for caution, stressing the need for a humane and conciliatory approach.
“While constitutional issues may exist, we are human beings and we urge our colleagues to reconsider,” Abbey said, adding that the governor also has a responsibility to avoid further constitutional breaches to help de-escalate tensions.
The development comes a day after Wike concluded his ‘thank-you tour’ of local government areas in the state and returned to Abuja. It was observed that the FCT Minister did not visit Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Area, Governor Fubara’s home LGA, during the tour.
An APC chieftain from the area, who spoke anonymously, said Wike deliberately avoided Opobo due to the prevailing political tension. He claimed turnout was also low when Wike visited neighbouring Bonny Local Government Area.
Amid the escalating crisis, the Pan Niger Delta Elders Forum (PANDEF) has constituted a seven-member reconciliation committee to mediate in the Rivers political impasse.
The committee is chaired by former Attorney-General of the Federation, Chief Kanu Agabi (SAN), with Senator Obende Domingo as vice chairman. Other members include Chief Essien Nduese, Dr. Timiebi Koripamo-Agari, Chief Mike Ejiofor, Mrs. Nella Rabana-Andem (SAN), and Prince Godwin Okotie.
PANDEF said the committee was set up in line with its peace-building tradition and urged all parties to cooperate fully to achieve a peaceful and lasting resolution.
In a joint statement signed by King Alfred Diete-Spiff, Obong Victor Attah, and Ambassador Godknows Igali, the forum described the situation in Rivers State as disturbing and called on all stakeholders to embrace dialogue, tolerance, and political maturity.
The forum also expressed concern over the impeachment proceedings, warning that the crisis, if unchecked, could threaten peace and stability in Rivers State and the wider Niger Delta region.

Policemen in Benue State have arrested 41 suspects in connection with alleged illegal slaughterhouses operating in Makurdi, the state capital.
The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Udeme Edet, confirmed the arrests on Tuesday, following reports of suspicious activities at Awe Street in Wurukum, Makurdi.
The alleged slaughterhouses have been trending on social media, sparking public concern. One unidentified witness, who claimed to have been abducted on December 25 while returning from a church programme, described being taken to Awe Street by a motorcyclist. The witness recounted encountering several young girls in a room under disturbing circumstances and said one girl was offered money to secure her release but was refused.
Another social media account described a girl narrowly escaping the area after being lured by a motorcycle rider.
Responding to the allegations, DSP Edet said, “I’m aware of this, and the matter has been forwarded for action.” She added that raids were conducted at known black spots in Awe Street, Wurukum, and Wadata, resulting in the arrest of 41 suspects for further screening.
Police investigations are ongoing as authorities work to verify the allegations and ensure public safety.

Away from Oyo State, bandits have killed five persons including a House of Assembly candidate for Otukpo-Akpa State Constituency on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 general election, Igbabe Ochi, in a fresh attack in Otukpo local government area of Benue State.
Local sources confirmed that the community has been singled out by suspected herdsmen for attacks, following the killing of 13 persons on April 15, 2025, and another attack that claimed three more lives in May 2025.
When contacted, the President of Otobi Community Development Association, John Anyebe, confirmed the attack, lamenting over the killing of his people. However, the Benue State Police Command is yet to react to the incident as of press time.
