Activist Omoyele Sowore has reacted to reports that the United States military carried out “precision hits on terrorist targets in Nigeria by air strikes.”
The Nigerian government had officially confirmed that the United States military carried out “precision hits on terrorist targets in Nigeria by air strikes.”
This confirmation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs comes shortly “after US President Donald Trump announced the operation” directed at Islamic State militants located in the country’s northwestern region.

“Nigerian authorities remain engaged in structured security cooperation with international partners, including the United States of America, in addressing the persistent threat of terrorism and violent extremism,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement released early on Friday.
“This has led to precision hits on terrorist targets in Nigeria by air strikes,” in the country’s northwest, it added.
Sowore took to X to react to the US strikes in Nigeria.
He wrote on X: I have read reports that the United States government launched attacks on Nigerian soil on Christmas Day, as announced by @realDonaldTrump and the U.S. Secretary of War, @PeteHegseth, purportedly targeting terrorist groups within Nigeria.
Although the Nigerian government now claims it was aware and describes the operation as a joint effort with vague “international partners,” it is evident that the strikes were carried out without the genuine authority or informed consent of the weaklings masquerading as government under President Bola Tinubu @officialABAT.
My position remains unchanged. Judging by the nature of the confirmed strike on a village in Sokoto, it is clear that the U.S. President under whose authority this operation occurred neither understands nor genuinely cares about Nigeria or Nigerians. It is deeply troubling that Nigeria (Africa’s most populous nation) lacks the capable and sovereign leadership required to protect its people and its territory.
As a result, the country has been reduced to a bystander while its sovereignty is violated under the direction of U.S. President @realDonaldTrump.
I reiterate: only true, tested, and informed leadership can protect Nigerians—not imperiled, jaundiced neoconservatives operating from Washington, D.C.
