Overnight, Nigeria and the United States recorded a significant example of effective collaboration in the fight against terrorism.
COUNTERTERRORISM OPERATION AGAINST ISIS SENIOR LEADER, ABU-BILAL AL-MANUK
Our determined Nigerian Armed Forces, working closely with the Armed Forces of the United States, conducted a daring joint operation that dealt a heavy blow to the ranks of the Islamic State.
Early assessments confirm the elimination of the wanted IS senior leader, Abu-Bilal Al-Manuki, also known as Abu-Mainok, along with several of his lieutenants, during a strike on his compound in the Lake Chad Basin
Nigeria appreciates this partnership with the United States in advancing our shared security objectives. I extend my sincere gratitude to President Trump for his leadership and unwavering support in this effort.
I commend the personnel involved on both sides for their professionalism and courage, and I look forward to more decisive strikes against all terrorist enclaves across the nation.

ReplyDeleteWe hear you sir. 2nd in command of ISIS was leaving rent free in Nigeria and our government is not aware till US soldiers came for him.
ReplyDeleteGod bless US president
Use the extended education Nigeria is helping you with to read if reasoning is too difficult. You people should utilise NELFUND with sense.
DeleteBoth nations collaborated to achieve the victory- even Trump thanked Nigeria for the joint effort and it isn't new. For decades, the head of a Turkish militant and terrorist group lived under the nose of many presidents in the USA. They have also had their share of unfortunate attacks and have found Nigeria to be useful for information gathering.
Your fave's VP hopeful is on their list. I hope you will patriotically tell that fave to volunteer his whereabouts.
Living not leaving, Masters student.
DeleteFrom press releases, both governments were aware and collaborated to end the guy.
E day pain you say Trump finds TPower a worthy colleague.
I wonder what he thinks of a certain guy the USA believes is a terrorist and now claiming OK. You people are easy 😆.
Anon kindly go back and read what Nigeria. Defence Minister said between Jan - March 2024 about the death of this same person that is killed now. I am not against who you support .
