The United States embassy in Nigeria has denied that it is sending troops to combat Boko Haram militants in the North of Nigeria.
Yesterday, SaharaReporters reported that a covert operation by US Special Forces aimed at fighting the militants is in the offing. Our source said Marines from Forth Carson in Colorado got a 48-hour notice to prepare to deploy to the troubled area through Niger and Chad.
But Deb MacLean, a spokesman of the US Embassy in Nigeria told Associated Press reporter Jon Gambrell today US soldiers are “not coming.” The AP reporter claimed Ms. Mclean was responding to our exclusive report.
Our sources say the planned deployment is hampering ongoing underground discussion with the militants by the Nigerian government.
