Trump Announces Elimination of ISIS Deputy Leader in Joint US-Nigeria Operation

By Editor In-cheif

Donald Trump has announced that combined forces of the United States and Nigeria carried out a successful counterterrorism operation that reportedly eliminated Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, described as the second-in-command of ISIS and one of the world’s most active terrorist leaders.

In a statement released on Friday night, Trump said the operation was conducted under his directive and involved “brave American forces” alongside the Nigerian Armed Forces in what he described as a “meticulously planned and very complex mission.”

According to Trump, the joint military action successfully removed the ISIS commander from the battlefield, marking what could become a major breakthrough in ongoing global counterterrorism operations.

The operation is expected to further strengthen security cooperation between the United States and Nigeria in the fight against terrorism and insurgency across West Africa and beyond.

However, official details regarding the location of the operation and casualty figures have not yet been independently confirmed by security authorities.
