Trump Says US Hit Islamic State Targets In Nigeria …Gumi Kicks

President Donald Trump announced on Dec. 25 2025 that the U.S. military had attacked Islamic State targets in Nigeria, claiming the group had been targeting Christians in the region.

In a post on Truth Social, the president said he directed the military to launch 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!

“In a post on X, the U.S. military’s Africa Command confirmed it had conducted a strike that killed multiple militants at the request of Nigerian authorities. The strike occurred in “Soboto state,” an apparent reference to Sokoto state, the post said.

Trump in recent months has made frequent references to what he called the plight of Christians in Nigeria, and his United Nations ambassador even invited pop star Nicki Minaj to address the issue at the U.N. General Assembly.

“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,” Trump continued, adding that the Pentagon conducted “numerous perfect” strikes against Islamic State targets in the region.

Nigeria has been fighting Islamic State forces in the northwest.

Meanwhile, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has kicked against the U S onslaught against the Terrorists.

According to him, “launching attacks against the Boko Haram terrorists will worsen the situation.”
