Inside the Raid: US Forces Eliminated 199 Jihadists in Nigeria, Trump Aide Claims

Sebastian Gorka, a deputy assistant to President Trump and senior director for counterterrorism, said on June 24 that US forces carried out a major strike in Nigeria. He claimed operatives killed 199 jihadists in a single operation, marking the largest neutralisation since the September 11 attacks. Gorka added that the raid yielded an unprecedented haul of electronic intelligence—three times more than any captured since 9/11—and is now under analysis by US experts. He noted that Africa has become a key counterterrorism theatre and highlighted Washington’s interest in expanding security partnerships across the continent.
