President Donald J. Trump announced that the U.S. had struck ISIS terrorists in Nigeria on Christmas Day, taking out members of the Islamic extremist group that has been targeting Christians in the African country.
“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!” Trump said in a Thursday evening post to Truth Social.

“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. Under my leadership, our Country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper,” he added.
“May God Bless our Military, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including the dead Terrorists, of which there will be many more if their slaughter of Christians continues,” Trump concluded.
“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,” read an X post from U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) which confirmed the strikes.
The Pentagon posted a video showing Uncle Sam’s Christmas gift to the murderous savages, along with the commander-in-chief’s statement.

U.S. Africa Command confirmed that multiple terrorists in ISIS camps were killed.
“U.S. Africa Command is working with Nigerian and regional partners to increase counterterrorism cooperation efforts related to on-going violence and threats against innocent lives,” AFRICOM Commander Gen. Dagvin Anderson said in a statement. “Our goal is to protect Americans and to disrupt violent extremist organizations wherever they are.”
“I’m really angry about it,” Trump told Fox News Radio last month of the attacks on Christians. “What’s happening in Nigeria is a disgrace.”
