Donald Trump announced that U.S. and Nigerian forces had killed Abu Ibrahim al‑Minuki, identified as the Islamic State’s second‑in‑command. Al‑Minuki had been sanctioned by the U.S. in 2023 for ties to the extremist group. Trump thanked Nigeria for its partnership in the operation, while not revealing the location or method of the attack.

    1. Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, second in command of ISIS globally, thought he could hide in Africa, but little did he know we had sources who kept us informed on what he was doing.
    2. Brave American forces ⁠and the Armed Forces of Nigeria flawlessly executed a meticulously planned and very complex mission to eliminate the most active terrorist in the world from the battlefield.

    1. I look forward to more decisive strikes against all terrorist enclaves across the nation.
    2. I extend my sincere gratitude to President Trump for his leadership and unwavering support in this effort.
    3. Nigeria appreciates this partnership with the United States in advancing our shared security objectives.

    1. The potential to cause chaos within the group is also there because the operation must have been carried out in the heart of ISWAP's fortified base, which is very difficult to access.
    2. If confirmed, the killing of Al-Mainuki is huge because this is the first time a security agency has killed someone this high in the ranking of ISWAP.

    1. This kind of counterterrorism operation can disrupt the group's finance, recruitment and planning at the provincial level.
    2. We know the Nigerian forces lack the basic capacity to fight violent extremist groups, especially in places like the Lake Chad region, which is densely forested.
    3. It would demonstrate to them [militants] that the American-Nigerian operation has really picked up.
