US launches airstrike against terrorists in Nigeria
The United States has launched a major attack on suspected terrorists in the North-West part of Nigeria.
President Donald Trump announced this in a Social Media post late Thursday.
According to the American leader, many terrorists were killed in the attack which he credited the US Department of War for.
Trump had redesignated Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern over alleged genocide against Christians.
He had also directed the US Department of War to prepare for action in Nigeria following which a series of surveillances were conducted in the North.
The Nigerian government is yet to comment on the operation, which Trump failed to give further details about.
“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, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries!”
“I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was. The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing.”
