A Nigerian man has captured attention online after claiming that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu may have sent a “signal” to United States President Donald Trump ahead of a reported deadly strike on terrorist groups in northern Nigeria.
Claim Emerges After Reported Strike in Sokoto
The claim surfaced shortly after reports stated that terrorists in Sokoto were attacked in an operation allegedly linked to Trump’s earlier warning to extremist groups accused of targeting Christians.
The incident was highlighted in a news report recently published online.
Trump Had Issued Warning Before Alleged Operation
Before the reported strike, Trump had reportedly warned the terrorists of severe consequences if attacks on Christians continued.
According to circulating reports, the attack happened weeks after that warning.
