Speaker 1: While many Nigerians were asleep after the twenty twenty five

2
00:00:03,480 –> 00:00:08,240
Christmas celebration, the United States US war ship moved close

3
00:00:08,279 –> 00:00:12,080
and took position in the Territorial Africa Waters then launched

4
00:00:12,080 –> 00:00:14,800
missiles at the dead of the night on Thursday into

5
00:00:14,919 –> 00:00:19,480
areas predominantly dominated by the Lakarawa terrorists in the nigeria

6
00:00:19,600 –> 00:00:23,719
north western state of Sokato, with President Donald Trump saying

7
00:00:23,839 –> 00:00:27,320
many of the terrorists were killed, but the Islamic State

8
00:00:27,359 –> 00:00:30,719
of Arakan Syria ISIS in the West Africa Province is

9
00:00:30,800 –> 00:00:33,200
yet to issue a statement over the air strikes on

10
00:00:33,280 –> 00:00:36,560
the Lacquawa camps in Sokoto. The armed group that is

11
00:00:36,600 –> 00:00:40,799
affiliated with the Islamic State Sahil Province operating in Mali,

12
00:00:41,159 –> 00:00:45,399
Nijay and the Nigeria Kebe and Sokoto States, whose activities

13
00:00:45,439 –> 00:00:51,159
are mostly observed in five local government areas of Tangasa, Gudu, Alala,

14
00:00:51,320 –> 00:00:56,119
Binji and Salame in Sokato State. This some residents at

15
00:00:56,159 –> 00:00:59,719
Jabo Village in the Tambul local government area of Sokotos

16
00:00:59,759 –> 00:01:03,719
State eight posted videos online to indicate that some components

17
00:01:03,840 –> 00:01:06,640
used in making the missiles fell on a farmland in

18
00:01:06,719 –> 00:01:09,840
the Jabo village. The videos showed a lot of the villages,

19
00:01:10,239 –> 00:01:14,319
mostly younger ones, holding phones with touch light on recording

20
00:01:14,359 –> 00:01:16,519
the scene of the burning parts of one of the

21
00:01:16,560 –> 00:01:19,879
missiles in the farmland, while some took a closer camera

22
00:01:20,000 –> 00:01:24,040
angle shot of some of the components that have manufacturing inscriptions,

23
00:01:24,159 –> 00:01:27,920
dates and brand labels. The U s Africa Command, in

24
00:01:27,959 –> 00:01:31,519
a statement a few hours ago, said that the direction

25
00:01:31,640 –> 00:01:34,519
of the President of the United States and the Secretary

26
00:01:34,519 –> 00:01:38,560
of War, and in co ordination with Nigerian authorities, US

27
00:01:38,680 –> 00:01:42,920
Africa Command conducted strikes against ISIS terrorists in Nigeria on

28
00:01:43,000 –> 00:01:48,200
December twenty fifth, twenty twenty five, in Socoto State. President

29
00:01:48,239 –> 00:01:51,640
Donald Trump, while announcing the military action through his Truth

30
00:01:51,760 –> 00:01:56,519
social media platform on Thursday night, said, Tonight, at my

31
00:01:56,640 –> 00:02:00,079
direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a

32
00:02:00,159 –> 00:02:04,280
powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist scum in Northwest

33
00:02:04,400 –> 00:02:09,000
Nigeria who have been targeting and viciously killing primarily innocent

34
00:02:09,080 –> 00:02:13,360
Christians at levels not seen for many years and even centuries.

35
00:02:14,120 –> 00:02:17,159
I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did

36
00:02:17,240 –> 00:02:20,319
not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell

37
00:02:20,400 –> 00:02:24,400
to pay, and tonight there was the Department of War

38
00:02:24,479 –> 00:02:28,639
executed numerous perfect strikes as only the United States is

39
00:02:28,719 –> 00:02:32,719
capable of doing. Under my leadership, our country will not

40
00:02:32,800 –> 00:02:37,080
allow radical Islamic terrorism to prosper. May God bless our

41
00:02:37,159 –> 00:02:41,360
military and Merry Christmas to all, including the dead terrorists,

42
00:02:41,400 –> 00:02:43,479
of which there will be many more if their slaughter

43
00:02:43,560 –> 00:02:48,280
of Christians continues. Peter Hegxith, the U S Secretary of War,

44
00:02:48,639 –> 00:02:52,520
reiterated the U S president announcement in a tweet, saying

45
00:02:52,879 –> 00:02:55,840
the President was clear last month the killing of innocent

46
00:02:55,919 –> 00:03:00,719
Christians in Nigeria and elsewhere must end. The Department of

47
00:03:00,800 –> 00:03:05,120
War is always ready, so isis found out tonight on Christmas.

48
00:03:05,879 –> 00:03:10,080
More to come. Grateful for Nigerian government support and cooperation.

49
00:03:10,680 –> 00:03:15,159
Merry Christmas. On November twenty fifth, twenty twenty five, Peter

50
00:03:15,319 –> 00:03:19,680
Hexith had said, yes, sir, the killing of innocent Christians

51
00:03:19,719 –> 00:03:24,840
in Nigeria and anywhere must end immediately. The Department of

52
00:03:24,960 –> 00:03:29,159
War is preparing for action. Either the Nigerian government protects

53
00:03:29,240 –> 00:03:32,439
Christians or we will kill the Islamic terrorists who are

54
00:03:32,479 –> 00:03:38,280
committing these horrible atrocities. Bulama Bukati, a lawyer and social commentator,

55
00:03:38,360 –> 00:03:41,439
treated in reaction that. I’m pleased to see that President

56
00:03:41,520 –> 00:03:44,400
Trump appears to have listened to our concerns back in

57
00:03:44,520 –> 00:03:47,879
November and worked with the Nigerian government rather than acting

58
00:03:48,000 –> 00:03:52,919
unilaterally the US. Their strikes reportedly took place in Sokoto State,

59
00:03:53,319 –> 00:03:56,159
suggesting they targeted the lacquer of a group which has

60
00:03:56,240 –> 00:04:00,919
become increasingly lethal. Strikes against the group are way welcome development,

61
00:04:01,360 –> 00:04:04,639
as they can help degrade its leadership and logistical capacity.

62
00:04:05,439 –> 00:04:09,319
This is especially positive given that the operation was carried

63
00:04:09,360 –> 00:04:12,800
out with the consent and cooperation of the Nigerian government.

64
00:04:13,560 –> 00:04:16,600
We had reported in early November twenty twenty five, the

65
00:04:16,639 –> 00:04:20,040
President Donald Trump of the United States of America has

66
00:04:20,079 –> 00:04:23,040
placed U S Soldiers on red alert for possible war

67
00:04:23,079 –> 00:04:27,279
in Nigeria. According to President Trump, the U S. Department

68
00:04:27,360 –> 00:04:30,680
of War should prepare U S troops for possible military

69
00:04:30,720 –> 00:04:34,680
action in Nigeria. If the Nigerian government continued to allow

70
00:04:34,759 –> 00:04:38,199
the killing of Christians, the U S. Troops may very

71
00:04:38,240 –> 00:04:41,879
well go into that now disgraced country guns ablazing to

72
00:04:41,959 –> 00:04:45,000
completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists who were committing these

73
00:04:45,079 –> 00:04:50,160
horrible atrocities. This President Trump issued on Saturday evening, in

74
00:04:50,279 –> 00:04:54,680
line with Greenwich, Meridian time after President Bulla Ahmed Tenubu

75
00:04:54,800 –> 00:04:59,120
personally signed the statement rejecting trump earlier claim on Friday

76
00:04:59,240 –> 00:05:03,240
that Christians of being targeted and killed in Nigeria. Although

77
00:05:03,279 –> 00:05:07,360
President Bola Hmed Tanubu disagreed with Trump, who had described

78
00:05:07,399 –> 00:05:11,079
the high level of insecurity in Nigeria as a religious

79
00:05:11,079 –> 00:05:16,319
war by Islamic terrorists against Christians, but some Nigerians quickly

80
00:05:16,360 –> 00:05:19,920
took to the comments section of President Bola armed Tanubu

81
00:05:20,000 –> 00:05:23,959
post on ex social media platform and pasted a screenshot

82
00:05:23,959 –> 00:05:27,639
of a tweet published by President Bola Hmed Tanubu on

83
00:05:27,800 –> 00:05:33,279
January twenty ninth, twenty fourteen, wherein President Bola Hmed Tanubu

84
00:05:33,319 –> 00:05:37,240
apparently had long accepted and agreed that the insecurity in

85
00:05:37,360 –> 00:05:41,439
Nigeria is possibly a religious war against Christians in the

86
00:05:41,439 –> 00:05:46,079
West Africa country. Verbatim. In the tweet, Tanubu said, the

87
00:05:46,160 –> 00:05:50,120
slaughtering of Christian worshipers is strongly condemnable. It calls to

88
00:05:50,240 –> 00:05:54,000
question the competence of Jonathan, then President of Nigeria to

89
00:05:54,079 –> 00:05:58,560
protect Nigerians. This old statement by President Bola Hmed Tanubu

90
00:05:58,639 –> 00:06:01,839
indicated that President Dom Lord Trump of the United States

91
00:06:01,879 –> 00:06:04,720
of America may not be the first person to describe

92
00:06:04,759 –> 00:06:08,560
the insecurity in Nigeria as a religious war against Christian

93
00:06:08,639 –> 00:06:16,639
communities in the West Africa country. Posasandi bringing you Bringnese
