The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has announced that American forces carried out military strikes in Nigeria. Trump made the disclosure on Christmas Day, describing the action as the first in a series of planned attacks.
He said the powerful and deadly air strikes on terrorists hideouts located in Sokoto, a north western state in Nigeria, was against ISIS-affiliated terrorists.
Recall that sometime in November 2025, Trump cried out over the killing of Christians in the north west and north central regions of Nigeria.
The US leader warned that his administration would not allow this to continue, vowing to strike the terrorists at their hideout.
After several deliberations with Nigerian authorities following the threat, both side announced that agreements have been reached on the way forward.
Suddenly, the US government announced that it struck terrorists in Sokoto forest on Thursday night.
“In my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria,” Trump wrote on his Trust Social.
He declared that under his leadership, radical Islamic terrorism would find no safe haven anywhere.
