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 […]

Chad deports Nigerians fleeing jihadist violence

Chad has arrested and deported hundreds of Nigerians who fled jihadist violence in the Lake Chad region and sought safety in its territory, Nigerian and humanitarian sources say. Many of those affected are from states in northern Nigeria that have endured years of attacks by Boko Haram and other armed groups. According to Nigerian officials in Borno State, the Chadian authorities recently rounded up irregular Nigerian migrants in several towns and transported them to the border for return to Nigeria. Local sources say some of those detained had lived in Chad for years after fleeing earlier waves of insurgent attacks and had been surviving through informal work and begging. Humanitarian agencies report that thousands of Nigerians remain displaced around the Lake Chad Basin because of ongoing insecurity and repeated attacks by jihadist groups. Many crossed into neighbouring Chad, Niger and […]
