The statement made by a US soldier went viral online after the US president, Donald Trump, confirmed an attack on ISIS terrorists in Sokoto.
The soldier’s statement was made in the middle of the night, around 12 a.m. on December 26, hours before the attack on the ISIS base was reported by Nigerian news media.
In recent weeks, the US soldier had also made several remarks regarding the US military’s plans for Nigeria in response to the activities of terrorist groups.
@Horiyourme, in a message sent exactly at 12:40 a.m., confirmed what the US president did. Several hours later, reports circulated online about the attack on the ISIS base.
His statement read:
“Trump just approved a strike on a terrorist camp in Nigeria as a holiday strike.”
After that, he added:
“You lot will wake up to the news of the strike. You ask when we’re coming. We are here. Terrorist apologists… remember I asked you to put body. Now is the time.”
Sharing a message of Trump confirming the attack, he wrote:
“POTUS: ‘Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, even centuries.’”
