The United States has confirmed that the operation it launched against terrorists in Nigeria took place in Sokoto.

President Donald Trump had announced that the US bombed terrorists in North-West Nigeria.

However, the exact location of the incident was unknown as the American leader did not give further details.

The Nigerian authorities did not also comment on the operation.

But a resident of Jabo town in Tambuwal Local Government Area of Sokoto, told Daily Trust that an explosive device burst into flames in the area, sending residents into panic mode.

“I was at home when we heard a loud sound which shook some of our houses. Immediately the explosive object hit the ground at the outskirt of Jabo town, it burst into fire,” an eyewitness, Attahiru Madawaki Jabo, had told our reporter.

Giving an update on the attack, the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM), which is responsible for US military operations on the continent, identified the particular North-West State where it struck.

In a series of posts on X, AFRICOM said the airstrikes were launched based on requests of the Nigerian government.

“AFRICOM conducted a strike at the request of Nigerian authorities in Sokoto State killing multiple ISIS terrorists. Lethal strikes against ISIS demonstrate the strength of our military and our commitment to eliminating terrorist threats against Americans at home and abroad.”

“At the direction of the President of the United States and the Secretary of War, and in coordination with Nigerian authorities, U.S. Africa Command conducted strikes against ISIS terrorists in Nigeria on Dec. 25, 2025, in Sokoto State.”

When the US tells you they're coming, they're coming. If you haven't seen them one month after, don't assume the threat is over. They're actively training, and they have eyes on ground following and watching you. They will eventually come.

I told you guys last month in this cryptic post that they were coming. I knew it will happen soon. They had this planned long before DT made the threat.



That Mo-Fo in a certain rock in Abuja is a goner. I know where all this is headed. He’s an incompetent buffoon that doesn’t deserve to be on that seat.

immaculatesense:
How did you come to that conclusion? He is incompetent for asking a superpower nation for help in dealing with ISIS group that is a worldwide terrorist organization that did not even start under him?
If our past leaders from 2012 had sought for help before now and permitted US to strike, would we not have won the war and not be in this mess in the first place? Are you sick or something?

No Be Juju Be Dat?

ogashman:
Which help did he ask for?

Someone that was still denying Christian genocide in Nigeria.

You should realize those past Nigerian leaders had no fault, since none of them defeated and prevented his kinsman from being the president of Nigeria. You should understand his pain and agony.

TimeMachine2:
Cry all you want! We have already conducted 2027 elections this year! 2027 is only for swearing in.
Yen yen!!!.

TokoEkambi:
So you expect him to openly agree there's Christian genocide in Nigeria? As in, you guys should just pretend to be logical for once, even if it's for 5 minutes of your lives.

Do you know what genocide is? I am a Christian. The bomb blast in Maiduguri that killed five Muslims was it also a part of the Christian genocide? Don't be myopic.
The government did the right thing to let US intervene and all we can do is to support the intervention simple. All this genocide and all doesn't matter; terrorism must stop in Nigeria. Simple.
