Nigerian security officials rejected the accusations made by Niger's military leader, General Abdourahamane Tchiani, that Nigeria was helping France destabilize the region and accepting funds for a military base in Borno.In a statement, Nigeria's government refuted these allegations as "unfounded," asserting its commitment to eradicating regional terrorism. Despite the tensions, Nigeria intends to continue joint operations with Nigerien forces, as stated by Major General Edward Buba, Director of Defence Media Operations.Earlier, Niger's government summoned the Nigerian embassy's charge d'affaires and accused Nigeria of using its territory as a base for destabilizing actions, allegedly with the complicity of foreign powers and former Nigerien regime officials.
