The delivery follows a Christmas Day air strike by the US against ISWAP in Sokoto, with United States President Donald Trump warning of further action against terrorists in Nigeria.

Trump had, in October 2025, declared Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” over allegations of Christian genocide.

The president described Nigeria as a “disgraceful” country and threatened to take military action should the government continue to “allow killing of Christians”.
