Former Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, and Minister of Justice, Michael Aondoakaa, SAN, has insisted that the US military airstrike against terrorist elements in Nigeria did not undermine the territorial sovereignty of the country.
Aondoakaa stated this on Thursday in an interview on Arise Television, monitored by DAILY POST.
According to him, the Federal Government must sustain the synergy with the United States to eliminate bandits in the country.
The ex-AGF maintained that his call for increased American strikes on terrorists was made in good faith and was not intended to undermine the sovereignty of Nigeria
He added that judging from what transpired, the Nigerian government gave intelligence to the Americans, stressing that The Americans did not just strike.
“That is my understanding of what happened, and I think the Minister of Foreign Affairs was emphatic that the strike in Sokoto was a corroboration between the American and the
Nigerian governments.
“The call was in good faith. It did not in any way undermine the sovereignty of this country. And this is why I still think that collaborating with the US or any other country to flush out the bandits does not in any way undermine the integrity of this country,” he said.
