Nigeria Credits Own Troops for Precision Strike That Killed Terror Commander Abu Bilal Al-Minuki

Maj-Gen Michael Onoja, Defence Media Operations Director, confirmed that no foreign soldiers took part in the operation that eliminated Abu Bilal Al-Minuki. The United States only provided intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance support. The mission was carried out solely by Nigerian forces. Officials report zero casualties on our side, highlighting meticulous planning and the troops’ professionalism. Previously, reports of Al-Minuki’s death in 2024 were mistaken. He used multiple aliases to evade detection before this final operation. Nigeria will continue to strengthen security partnerships and keep notorious leaders like bandit kingpin Bello Turji under close watch. Citizens are urged to share timely information to support military efforts.
