Trump Says U.S. Carried Out Deadly Christmas-Night Strike on ISIS Elements in Northwest Nigeria

 United States President Donald J. Trump has claimed that the U.S. military carried out a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS fighters operating in Northwest Nigeria, accusing the group of targeting and brutally killing Christians in the region.



In a statement released on Christmas night, Trump said the operation was carried out at his direct instruction as Commander-in-Chief, describing the targets as ISIS terrorists responsible for what he called large-scale violence against Christian communities.

“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians,” Trump said.

Trump alleged that the attacks on Christians had reached levels “not seen for many years, and even centuries,” adding that he had previously warned the group to halt the violence or face severe consequences.

According to the statement, the strikes were executed by what Trump referred to as the “Department of War,” with multiple targets hit in what he described as “numerous perfect strikes,” asserting that only the U.S. military possessed such capability.

He further warned that under his leadership, the United States would not allow radical Islamic terrorism to thrive, particularly where religious persecution is involved.

“If their slaughter of Christians continues, there will be many more,” Trump warned, ending the message with a controversial Christmas greeting that included “the dead terrorists.”

As of the time of filing this report, there has been no independent confirmation from U.S. defense authorities or the Nigerian government regarding the alleged strike or its location. Security analysts also note that while extremist groups operate in parts of Nigeria, official acknowledgment of direct U.S. military action within Nigerian territory is rare and typically announced through formal defense channels.

The statement has nonetheless sparked debate online, especially over its timing, language, and implications for Nigeria’s ongoing fight against terrorism.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
