Tonight, at my direction, 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,” Trump said in ‌a ‌post on Truth Social.

“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.”

Al-Minuki had been placed under US sanctions in 2023 for ties to the group.

“He will no longer terrorise the people of Africa, or help plan operations to target Americans,” Trump said. “With his removal, Isis’ global operation is greatly diminished.”

He also thanked the Nigerian ‌government for its “partnership” in the operation.
