Major Mahalia Frost, wey dey represent Africom, come talk say dis ‘uptick’ wey dem dey see na because US dey try push against ISIS wey don link up with dem oshi killers for Africa. She mention say even di Christmas Day strikes wey dem do for Nigeria no be joke matter. Dem dey try scatter dem joint wahala wey dey happen from Nigeria to Somalia.
Lieutenant General John Brennan no gbadun play sef as e yan say dem don change style, dey work with partners so that dem fit know who to target properly. E say, ‘From Somalia to Nigeria, di problem dey connect. We dey try pull am down properly.’ Dis talk no be to take lightly o!
