Contractor-operated surveillance aircraft have been making regular flights from Ghana into Nigerian airspace before returning to Accra, though the precise mission objectives have not been publicly disclosed.
A former U.S. official revealed to Reuters that these aircraft are part of a broader deployment of military and intelligence resources that the Trump administration relocated to Ghana in November.
Ghana functions as a critical logistics center for U.S. military operations across Africa, though the exact number of surveillance aircraft currently based there remains undisclosed.
