Meanwhile, the U.S. Senate has confirmed Lt. Gen. Dagvin Anderson as the new commander for an independent AFRICOM to enhance the U.S. military’s ability to address threats and opportunities on the African continent.
The United States Department of War under Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War permitted the U.S Air Force SPY PLANE, Drone RQ-4B Global Hawk to secretly enter Nigeria’s Airspace two days ago, on Saturday, November 29, 2025 under the cover of darkness, conducts reconnaissance on the activities of Islamic State of West Africa Province, ISWAP, and Jama’at Ahl al-Sunna li al-Da’wa wa al-Jihad, Boko Haram hideouts in Borno State, North-East geopolitical zone of Nigeria.

The U.S. fighting spy plane, drone successfully entered and exited Nigeria’s airspace three times within 24 hours without a trace. It took pictures, videos of militants’ huts and lifestyle, recorded audios and conversations of any moving live object inside the forest, while a 24/7 round-the-clock surveillance is now activated.
Sources in The WHITE House and Department of War in Washington DC stated that to ensure a smooth, independent AFRICOM for a flawless operation, the U.S. Senate confirmed Lt. Gen. Dagvin Anderson as the new Commander purposely to enhance the U.S. military’s ability to address threats and opportunities on the African continent and signaling the formal separation of AFRICOM from U.S. Army Europe and Africa (USAREUR-AF).
This change is intended to increase U.S. responsiveness and cooperation in Africa amid increasing geopolitical competition from Russia and China.
AFRICOM will no longer be a subordinate command to USAREUR-AF, operating instead as an independent combatant command.
Corroborating this important view, Brant Phillip, a top security expert, tracker, and a jihadi expert with special focus on the Sahel reportedly said: “I can confirm that the United States has begun conducting operations inside Nigeria as part of an agreement with the Nigerian government aimed at tackling escalating terrorism. The U.S. Department of War is already conducting reconnaissance in western Nigeria from their base in Ghana, being part of an agreement with the Nigerian government aimed at ending terrorism.
Phillip stated on Saturday that a United States aircraft carried out an operation in Borno State, noting that the aircraft took off from Accra, Ghana.
“Confirming my earlier reports, a manned US ISR aircraft was conducting reconnaissance earlier today over ISWAP territory in southwestern Lake Chad, Borno State, northeast Nigeria, it originally took off from Accra, Ghana and is currently on its way back,” he wrote on X.
Earlier on Thursday, Brant had stated, “The US Department of War is already conducting reconnaissance operations in western Nigeria from their base in Ghana, without
He further added, “According to a private source familiar with the military deal between the US and Nigeria, the US will be allowed to conduct UAV airstrikes against terrorist targets inside Nigeria, the scope only include unmanned aircrafts (UAVs), not fighter jets or bombers.
“The American counterpart will mainly fill the ISR gaps of the Nigerian army with manned and/or unmanned aircrafts and will likely (still unconfirmed) use the Kainji Air Base in Niger State as a launchpad.”
On Sunday afternoon, he wrote again that the United States ISR aircraft had returned to spy over ISWAP’s Mantiqah Krinwa.
“The US Air Force ISR aircraft returned for the third day in a row to spy over ISWAP’s “Mantiqah Krinwa” in Borno state on the fringes of Lake Chad, northeast Nigeria, the aircraft is currently circling over the area and took off from Accra, Ghana, as usual,” he said.
Following the designation of Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” by Donald Trump over alleged genocide against Christians, the Nigerian government rejected the label and subsequently sent a delegation to the US so as to amicably resolve the matter.
