Trump Bombed Terrorists in Nigeria While Tinubu Watched Powerlessly - Sowore Alleges
Nigeria has been thrown into fresh controversy following claims by activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore that the United States carried out a military strike on Nigerian soil on Christmas Day without genuine authorization from Nigeria’s leadership.
In a strongly worded statement posted on his Facebook wall, Sowore reacted to announcements credited to Donald Trump and the U.S. Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, claiming that American forces targeted Islamic State (ISIS) elements in northwest Nigeria.
According to Sowore, the operation — reportedly executed in a village in Sokoto — exposes what he described as Nigeria’s alarming loss of sovereignty under the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
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 Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
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 Donald J. Trump.
I reiterate: only true, tested, and informed leadership can protect Nigerians—not imperiled, jaundiced neoconservatives operating from Washington, D.C.
