Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa
In a swift and coordinated response to growing international pressure, including recent remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump, the Nigerian Army has announced a major victory against insurgents, dismantling multiple terror cells, arresting 20 suspected terrorists, and rescuing 17 kidnapped victims— all within 48 hours.
What We Know:
- The operation, led by the Nigerian Army in conjunction with local intelligence units, reportedly targeted hideouts in North-West and North-Central Nigeria.
- The raids were launched shortly after President Trump expressed concern over the killings of Christians in Nigeria and hinted at possible U.S. intervention.
- Army spokesperson Maj.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu said the crackdown was part of “sustained counter-terrorism momentum” and not politically motivated.
Quote:
“This is a clear message: our forces remain capable and resolute. Nigeria’s sovereignty is not up for debate.”
