Nigerian man condemns US attack
His reaction comes a few days after Donald Trump released a statement confirming that ISIS bases were bombed in Sokoto, a claim that has continued to generate widespread reactions.
Reacting to Trump’s statement, a Sokoto resident, Jamilu Umar Jabbi, spoke out in a Facebook post.
He claimed that the attack ordered by Donald Trump targeted innocent people in the middle of the night.
He said:
“Where is ISIS in Sokoto?
“It is clear that Donald Trump has no regard for Sokoto. If he was truly fighting terrorism, he would have gone to Zamfara, Katsina, or eastern Sokoto—places that have recorded serious attacks. But instead, he chose to strike innocent people in the middle of the night in Jabo, a place without any history of terrorism.”
After stating that the area attacked by Trump has no history of terrorism in the state, he went further to explain what he believes is the former US president’s real intention.
His statement reads:
“Truly, our northern and Nigerian leaders must rise against this injustice. We also pray to Almighty Allah to defend us and judge between us and the oppressors."

“No matter what, Muslims will never stop worshipping Allah. Many have tried before, like Pharaoh, and all returned to their Creator. If his aim is truly to protect Christians, why is he stating his war in Venezuela, which is 95% Christian? Or why didn’t he go to protect Palestine from Benjamin Netanyahu, where over 65% of the population are Christians? Clearly, this is part of a hidden agenda against Muslims. But God willing, no one can protect us except Allah.”
