President Bola Tinubu has confirmed that Abu-Bilal Al-Manuki, a wanted ISIS senior leader, was killed in a joint operation by the US military and Nigerian armed forces.
The statement read: “Overnight, Nigeria and the United States recorded a significant example of effective collaboration in the fight against terrorism.
“Our determined Nigerian Armed Forces, working closely with the Armed Forces of the United States, conducted a daring joint operation that dealt a heavy blow to the ranks of the Islamic State.
“Early assessments confirm the elimination of the wanted IS senior leader, Abu-Bilal Al-Manuki, also known as Abu-Mainok, along with several of his lieutenants, during a strike on his compound in the Lake Chad Basin
“Nigeria appreciates this partnership with the United States in advancing our shared security objectives. I extend my sincere gratitude to President Trump for his leadership and unwavering support in this effort.
“I commend the personnel involved on both sides for their professionalism and courage, and I look forward to more decisive strikes against all terrorist enclaves across the nation.”
This is indeed a very good move, as it demonstrates a strong commitment to national security and the ongoing fight against terrorism. Such decisive action not only disrupts the activities of dangerous insurgents but also sends a clear message that efforts to maintain peace and stability will be vigorously pursued. This strategic move is a positive step forward in safeguarding the nation’s future.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
