No fewer than 12 Tomahawk missiles were on December 25 launched against terrorists in Sokoto State by the United States military.
Rep Riley M. Moore, the lawmaker representing Virginia’s Second District in the Congress, confirmed this in an interview with Fox News.
DAILY POST reports that the US military operated in Sokoto State on Christmas night, bombing terrorists killing innocent people in parts of Nigeria.
Some security analysts claimed on Friday that the operation was unsuccessful and had no significant impacts on the targeted terrorists.
According to them, the airstrikes landed in safe places including farms where there was no history of terrorists’ hideout.
But details began to emerge on Friday night, indicating that several terrorists were killed during the joint operations between the US army and it’s Nigerian counterpart.
Moore said: “this year, thanks to President Trump, Radical Islamic Terrorists were on the receiving end of 12 Tomahawk missiles as a present.
“The successful strikes on ISIS, in coordination with the Nigerian government, is just the first step to secure the country and end the slaughter of our brothers and sisters in Christ”.
DAILY POST reports that residents of Sokoto State have been panicking since the US military operation.
