The security situation in North-West Nigeria has taken a dramatic turn following reports of a joint military operation involving the United States.
Video footage has recently surfaced confirming the elimination of several terrorists in Sokoto State during precision airstrikes.
The strikes, which were reportedly carried out on Christmas Day and into early January 2026, targeted the newly emerged Lakurawa extremist group and ISIS-affiliated camps in the Bauni forest.
While US President Donald Trump described the operations as “perfect” hits against “terrorist scum” targeting Christians, local reports have noted the discovery of unexploded Tomahawk missiles in nearby farmlands, raising questions about the precision and long-term impact of the intervention.
This will be the third time the United States will hits terrorist in Nigeria.
