ABUJA, Nigeria — The U.S. presence in the Gulf of Guinea is said to be a result of the U.S. Navy protecting Nigerian oil plants from terrorists, Nigeria’s The Guardian reported.

A report published in the Nigerian newspaper Wednesday said that the U.S. Navy was patrolling the Gulf of Guinea, home to Nigeria’s biggest oil field, Bonga Project, to prevent the field from being targeted “by terrorists and other maritime criminals.”
