The Diaspora Chapter of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has called on the United States government, led by President Donald Trump, to lend support to Nigerian authorities in investigating the recent Christmas season killings of tourists.

Ambassador Collins Osazee Idahosa, Vice President of NYCN Diaspora, who made the call in a statement, urged the US government to partner Nigeria in bringing the perpetrators to justice.

The NYCN Diaspora said its request is not for a declaration of war but for collaborative efforts to enhance security and stability in Nigeria.

Idahosa said the proposed support would involve backing Nigerian security agencies in their investigation, collaborating on initiatives to combat terrorism and violence, and providing capacity-building programmes for Nigerian law enforcement agencies.

He expressed optimism that joint efforts would ensure the safety and security of lives and properties, promoting a more stable and prosperous Nigeria. (The Sun)
