US forces on Saturday, October 31, rescued an American citizen taken hostage by armed men in Niger and held in the northern part of Nigeria.
The mission was undertaken by elite commandos as part of a major effort to free the U.S. citizen, Philip Walton, 27, before his abductors could get far after taking him captive in Niger on October 26. Read the story here.
In a tweet shared this morning, FFK commended the US forces for the rescue operation and also lashed out at the Nigerian Army and President Buhari.
