US Hails Nigeria Counterterrorism Efforts, Confirms Joint Operation Against ISIS Leader

The United States has praised Nigeria's counterterrorism efforts and confirmed a collaborative joint operation that eliminated senior ISIS leader Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, also known as Abu-Mainok, in the Lake Chad Basin. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio disclosed that American and Nigerian security agencies recently collaborated in an operation that eliminated the senior global ISIS leader alongside multiple lieutenants during an assault on his compound. President Donald Trump described the operation as eliminating "the most active terrorist in the world," calling al-Minuki "second command of ISIS globally" and emphasizing the strike dealt a blow to IS's networks in Africa and globally by disrupting their funding and command systems. Al-Minuki was designated a Specially Designated Global Terrorist by the U.S. in 2023 and played a key role in coordinating attacks across West Africa. He was killed during a strike on his compound […]

DHQ details slain ISIS Al‑Minuki’s decade‑long terror network

Nigeria’s Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has given fresh details about the decade‑long terror network run by slain Islamic State commander Abu‑Bilal Al‑Minuki, also known as Abu‑Mainok. The senior ISIS figure was confirmed killed this week in a joint Nigerian–US operation targeting his compound in the Lake Chad Basin. According to military and diplomatic briefings, Al‑Minuki had been on the radar of Western and African intelligence services for years as a key architect of ISIS’ expansion into West and Central Africa. Sanctioned by the United States in 2023, he was accused of coordinating funding, training and logistics for Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) cells operating around Lake Chad and deep into the Sahel. DHQ assessments link Al‑Minuki to a web of attacks on military bases, ambushes on convoys, mass kidnappings and cross‑border raids in Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon over the […]

Gumi asks FG to halt military cooperation with US over ISIS bombing

Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmad Abubakar Mahmoud Gumi has called on the Federal Government to immediately suspend all military cooperation with the United States following US airstrikes on ISIS targets in Nigeria. He warned that continued American involvement could worsen insecurity and undermine Nigeria’s national sovereignty.​ Gumi made his position known in a statement shared on his Facebook page. He argued that while Islam allows the fight against terrorism, such operations must be carried out by what he described as clean hands, insisting that the US lacks the moral authority to lead counterterrorism efforts because of its global military record.​ According to him, Nigeria made a mistake by allowing foreign powers to play a direct role in its security operations. He said foreign military interventions often come with hidden political interests and can lead to civilian casualties.​ Gumi also cautioned that […]

US strikes major ISIL targets in Syria
