Fact-Check Appendix

✔️ U.S. Airstrikes

President Donald Trump publicly stated that the United States conducted airstrikes against Islamic State–linked militants in Nigeria.

U.S. defense officials confirmed the operation was coordinated with and approved by the Nigerian government.

✔️ Location

The strikes were reported to have occurred in northwestern Nigeria, including areas within or near Sokoto State.

Independent verification of exact targets and casualties remains limited.

✔️ Armed Groups in Nigeria

Nigeria faces threats from multiple armed organizations, including Boko Haram, Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), and emerging groups such as Lakurawa in the northwest.

Security analysts suggest the Lakurawa group may have been a likely target due to recent escalation of violence in the region.

Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed intelligence sharing and strategic coordination with the United States in a manner consistent with international law.
