The reports have stirred mixed views from individuals who have continued to react to it.

Congressman Riley Moore speaks

According to the lawmaker, the recent strike represents an initial step in addressing what he described as the ongoing slaughter of Christians, as well as the wider security crisis affecting Nigerians across religious and ethnic lines.

He cautioned that the resolve of the Trump administration on the issue should not be underestimated, stressing that the operation signals a tougher stance by the United States in support of Nigeria’s fight against terrorism and violent extremism.

Riley Moore warns of further actions

Moore added that additional measures may be taken if the security situation fails to improve.

He said …

“President Trump has been clear that the killing of Christians in Nigeria must end.

As I stated at the outset: Do not test President Trump‘s resolved in this matter. Tonight’s strike in coordination with the Nigerian government is just the first step to ending the slaughter of Christians and the security crisis affecting all Nigerians.”

Following the recent public commentary on the legislative process relating to the passage of Tax law, the presidential assent, and publication in the Official Gazette of the Federal Government, the leadership of the National Assembly has directed the Clerk to re-gazette the Tax Acts and issue Certified True Copies of the versions duly passed by both Chambers.

The Spokesperson of the House, Hon. Akin Rotimi in a statement issued Friday said the recent commentary has raised issues concerning the harmonisation of Bills passed by the Senate and the House of Representatives, the documentation transmitted for Presidential assent, and the versions of the Acts subsequently published in the Official Gazette.

He assured the public that these matters are being addressed strictly within the constitutional and statutory remit of the National Assembly. Rotimi recalled that last week, the House constituted a seven-man Ad Hoc Committee on the matter after an Honourable Member raised it under a Point of Order (Privileges).

The Spokesperson explained that the Ad Hoc Committee, alongside other relevant Committees of the National Assembly, working in collaboration with the Management of the National Assembly, is undertaking an institutional review to establish the sequence of events and to identify any factors that may have contributed to the circumstances surrounding the legislative and administrative handling of the Acts.

Rotimi added that this included a careful examination of any lapses, irregularities, or external interferences, should any be established.

He stressed that the review was being conducted in full conformity with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Acts Authentication Act, Cap. A4, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, the Standing Orders of both Chambers, and established parliamentary practice.

“In the course of this review, and in the interest of clarity, accuracy, and the integrity of the legislative record, the leadership of the National Assembly, under the President of the Senate, Distinguished Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio, GCON, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, PhD, GCON, has directed the Clerk to the National Assembly to re-gazette the Acts and issue Certified True Copies of the versions duly passed by both Chambers of the National Assembly.

“This administrative step is intended solely to authenticate and accurately reflect the legislative decisions of the National Assembly.

“This review is strictly confined to institutional processes and procedures. It does not constitute, imply, or concede any defect in the exercise of legislative authority by the House of Representatives or the Senate.

“It is undertaken without prejudice to the powers, functions, or actions of any other arm or agency of government, and without prejudice to any rights, obligations, or legal processes arising under the Constitution or any other applicable law”

Rotimi emphasised that the National Assembly remained firmly committed to the principles of constitutionalism, separation of powers, due process, and the supremacy of the rule of law.

“Where procedural or administrative refinements are identified, appropriate corrective measures will be taken in accordance with the law and established parliamentary conventions.”

He called on members of the public to respectfully allow the National Assembly’s institutional processes to proceed without speculation or conjecture.

Rotimi maintained that the leadership of the House remained committed to transparency, accountability, and the faithful discharge of its constitutional responsibility as custodian of the legislative authority of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The leadership of the tribal groups in Benue State has commended President Donald Trump for commencing air strikes in the North West of Nigeria to eliminate the terrorists groups operating in that part of the country.

They lauded the American President for keeping to his words and appealed to him to extend the action to the North East and North Central to ensure complete elimination of the terrorist groups attacking and killing Nigerians Christians as well as Muslims.

The Chairman of the tribal leaders and President General of Mzough U Tiv, MUT, worldwide, Chief Iorbee Ihagh who was reacting to the development said he had already written a letter to the American Presidnet to commend him for taking the bold step to end the genocide of Christians in the country.

Chief Ihagh recalled that he had in the past appealed to the American President to step in and help put an end to the killings in the country.

“So it is a welcome development. All we are urging the American Presidnet is that the strikes should be sustained and it should be decisive.

“We also urge that it should be extended to the North East and the North Central or Middle Belt where we have suffered unimaginable attacks and killings by these terrorist groups.

“Benue State in particular has suffered unimaginable level of killings forcing hundreds of thousands of our people into Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, camps,” he said.

Beyond military action, Chief Ihagh also appealed to the American government to take the action a step further by looking into the humanitarian crisis in Benue state and provide support that would help the displaced persons return back to their ancestral land some of which he said had been taken over by terrorist herdsmen.

According to him, “We have a huge humanitarian crisis in Benue as we speak and this was occasioned by the relentless attacks of our communities by these terrorist groups who masquerade as herdsmen.

“We appeal to the American government to take their action a little further by coming in to help and assist our people gain access to their ancestral homes that have been taken over by the terrorists.

“As I speak with you, my home, Moon in Kwande Local Government Area, LGA, was sacked by the terrorists who are currently occupying the entire Council Ward. So I am speaking as a victim and I know and feel the pain with my people.

“I personally thank American for coming in to do this. I have already written the American President to commended him and we hope and pray that this intervention will finally give us peace in Nigeria and Benue State in particular so that our people can return to their farms in their ancestral land.”

The Executive Director of the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC), Auwal Musa Rafsanjani, has said foreign military intervention, including possible United States airstrikes, could be justified in Nigeria’s fight against terrorism only if the correct criminal targets were identified and eliminated.

Speaking at the ARISE News television on Friday, Rafsanjani blamed Nigeria’s worsening insecurity on long-standing failure to implement genuine security sector reforms and deep-rooted corruption within the security architecture.

“It is worth it if you are actually getting the right target. If you are getting the right criminal, eliminate them, destroy them. It is the right decision,” Rafsanjani said, when asked whether foreign military support was acceptable.
Rafsanjani argued that the United States does not necessarily need Nigeria’s consent before taking security actions it deems necessary, describing claims to the contrary as unrealistic.

“America, the way it is, they don’t need approval of Nigeria to do what they want to do,” he said. “When Trump was issuing his tweet, what facts are you looking for before issuing it?”

The CISLAC executive director maintained that Nigeria’s insecurity is largely self-inflicted, accusing successive administrations from Goodluck Jonathan to Muhammadu Buhari and now Bola Tinubu of failing to prioritise reforms.

“They have not actually prioritised security sector reforms in this country to deal decisively with insecurity,” he said.

“We have provided evidence that security sector corruption is a major reason why we are where we are today.”

He cited the continued deployment of police officers to protect political elites despite presidential directives to withdraw them from VIP duties.

“Even when the president gives a directive, nothing happens. Go to Kano today, you will still see about 20 policemen guarding an emir,” he said. “That shows we are not serious.”

Rafsanjani alleged that insecurity in Nigeria is sometimes deliberately sustained for political gain, calling for accountability across security agencies.

“Artificial insecurity is being created to serve political interests,” he said. “People who commit atrocities must be arrested, prosecuted and convicted, no matter how highly placed they are.”

He also criticised international figures who comment on Nigeria’s security challenges, singling out Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “This is somebody who has been killing and bombing Christians in Gaza, churches inclusive, yet he now has the courage to talk about killings in Nigeria,” Rafsanjani said. “If we had the right leadership, they would have responded to him.”

Rejecting claims that decisive military action could spark ethnic or religious backlash, Rafsanjani insisted Nigerians across faiths are victims of terrorism.

“Muslims are being killed and harassed every day by the same criminals,” he said. “This conversation should be about human life, not religion or geography.”

He urged President Tinubu to act decisively without fear of political narratives. “The constitution mandates the president to act irrespective of identity,” he said. “We should join hands to defeat criminals.”

Rafsanjani reaffirmed that any intervention, local or foreign must prioritise accuracy, accountability and protection of innocent lives, as Nigeria prepares to confront insecurity heading into 2026.

Commissioner of Police for Lagos State, Moshood Jimoh

The Lagos State Police Command has said the recovery of a locally made firearm in the Ishashi area underscores its continued reliance on stop-and-search operations as part of broader efforts to prevent crime across the state.

In a statement posted on its official X handle on Friday, the command disclosed that operatives of the Anti-Crime Unit attached to the Ishashi Division recovered a cut-to-size double-barrel firearm and two cartridges during a patrol on Tuesday at about 10:45 p.m.
The police said the recovery was made in the course of a routine stop-and-search operation carried out within the division’s jurisdiction, adding that the operation was led by the Divisional Police Officer.
Reaffirming its position on preventive policing, the command said such measures remain central to disrupting criminal activity before it occurs and strengthening public safety.

The statement read, “Stop-and-search remains a proactive crime-prevention measure. On December 23, 2025, at about 10:45 p.m., operatives of the Anti-Crime Unit of Ishashi Division, led by the DPO, recovered a locally made cut-to-size double-barrel firearm with two cartridges during a patrol and stop-and-search operation within the division’s jurisdiction.”
The command assured residents that patrols and intelligence-led operations would be sustained across Lagos State as part of efforts to maintain security and deter criminal activities.

Meanwhile, the Nigeria Police Force has said recent intelligence-led operations across several states resulted in the arrest of 22 suspects and the recovery of firearms, vehicles, motorcycles, illicit drugs and other items linked to criminal activities.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, said the operations were carried out by operatives of the Force Special Tactical Squad and targeted offences ranging from armed robbery and kidnapping to banditry, cattle rustling, impersonation and drug trafficking.

Hundeyin said six firearms were recovered during the operations, including “one LAR rifle, one pump-action gun, one AK-49 rifle, one AK-47 rifle and one SMG rifle, alongside two rounds of live ammunition”. He added that a total of 45 other exhibits were also recovered, comprising vehicles, motorcycles, illicit drugs and items suspected to have been used in committing various crimes.

According to the police, one of the key operations took place along the Kaduna–Abuja Expressway, where operatives intercepted a J5 vehicle conveying 13 brand-new motorcycles, weapons and other incriminating materials. Hundeyin said further investigation led to the arrest of a 35-year-old suspect, Luke Ifeanyi, in connection with alleged armed robbery and economic sabotage.
He also disclosed that, in a separate operation within the Federal Capital Territory, operatives arrested a Kuje Custodial Centre escapee, Ayo Abiodun, who is suspected to have carried out a violent robbery involving a serving Nigerian Army officer.

The police spokesperson said another suspect, 40-year-old Yusuf Shehu, was arrested with a stolen tricycle and was found to be impersonating a police officer. “A police mobile uniform and a police identity card were recovered from him,” Hundeyin said.
He further stated that operatives intercepted a vehicle conveying large quantities of leaves suspected to be cannabis and other controlled substances during routine patrols.

In Edo State, Hundeyin said four suspects were arrested for unlawful possession of prohibited firearms and alleged violent attacks on a community. He added that in Lagos and Ogun states, two suspects linked to a car-snatching syndicate were also apprehended.
The police said investigations into the various cases were ongoing, while efforts were being intensified to dismantle criminal networks operating across the country.

A Warri-based lawyer, Mr Owen Nanakumor, on Friday hailed the United States (US) Army for bombing the strongholds of terrorist groups in North-West Nigeria.

The legal practitioner described the presence of the US Army in the North-West region as a “welcome development.”

Nanakumor made the comment during a chat with our correspondent in Warri, Delta State.

He said that as the US Army continues to strike and bombard terrorist positions, it should also arrest and expose their sponsors to the world.

According to him, “Yes, they are welcome. I also demand that while the US Army is striking these terrorists, they should apprehend their sponsors in order to win the war completely.”

Nanakumor prayed that God Almighty would continue to uphold and bless President Donald Trump, as well as the US Government, for coming to the rescue of unarmed and innocent Nigerian citizens who have been at the mercy of terrorists.

It would be recalled that the US Army commenced airstrikes against terrorist groups on December 25, 2025.

The National Assembly has ordered its clerk to re-gazette the tax law Acts and issue Certified True Copies (CTCs) of the versions duly passed by both chambers of the parliament.

Naija News reports that the directive follows growing public commentary and controversy surrounding the passage, presidential assent and publication in the Federal Government’s Official Gazette of the Nigeria Tax Act, 2025, Nigeria Tax Administration Act, 2025, Joint Revenue Board of Nigeria (Establishment) Act, 2025, and the Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Act, 2025.

The National Assembly explained that the review would include “a careful examination of any lapses, irregularities, or external interferences, should any be established,” stressing that the leadership of the National Assembly, under Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Speaker of the House Abbas Tajudeen, directed the re-gazetting to clear any ambiguity.

The statement noted that the review did not amount to an admission of wrongdoing.

The statement read, “The House of Representatives wishes to assure the public that these matters are being addressed strictly within the constitutional and statutory remit of the National Assembly.

“The Ad Hoc Committee, alongside other relevant Committees of the National Assembly, working in collaboration with the management of the National Assembly, is undertaking an institutional review to establish the sequence of events and to identify any factors that may have contributed to the circumstances surrounding the legislative and administrative handling of the Acts.

“This administrative step is intended solely to authenticate and accurately reflect the legislative decisions of the National Assembly.

“Without prejudice to the powers, functions, or actions of any other arm or agency of government”, and would not affect “any rights, obligations, or legal processes arising under the Constitution or any other applicable law.”

Reaffirming its commitment to democratic norms, the House said it remains “firmly committed to the principles of constitutionalism, separation of powers, due process, and the supremacy of the rule of law and appealed to the public to exercise restraint.

The statement added, “Where procedural or administrative refinements are identified, appropriate corrective measures will be taken in accordance with the law and established parliamentary conventions.

His post went viral and sparked reactions from netizens.

ISIS Terrorists: Nigerian Lawyer Shares 3 Reasons Trump Chose Sokoto as First Location for Bombing

See the Facebook post below:

“On Christmas Day, December 25, 2025, the United States military carried out airstrikes targeting Islamic State (ISIS) militants in Northwest Nigeria, specifically Sokoto State, a region that sits near Nigeria’s border with Niger and has seen growing extremist activity. The operation was announced by U.S. President Donald Trump, who described the strikes as “powerful and deadly.” ”According to U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), the strikes killed “multiple ISIS terrorists” and were conducted at the request and with the cooperation of the Nigerian government. Nigerian officials confirmed the operation was part of ongoing security cooperation, involving intelligence sharing and strategic planning. ”Some may ask, why sokoto? This Is the reason;”Sokoto state sits near international corridors used by extremist networks linked to the Islamic State Sahel Province (ISSP).

“Its proximity to Niger and other parts of the Sahel makes it a transit and operational hub for militants spreading outward from the Lake Chad and Sahel regions.” The strike signals that extremist threats in Nigeria are not confined to the northeast they can expand into northwest regions unless checked early. ”This operation didn’t come out of nowhere, it followed weeks of public warnings by President Trump. In late October and November 2025, Trump posted on his social media platform that the United States was watching Nigeria’s security situation closely, especially after reports of escalating violence against civilians.”Trump claimed that Christian communities in Nigeria were being “viciously killed … at levels not seen for many years, and even centuries.” He warned that if killings continued, U.S. action would follow, even threatening to cut aid or intervene militarily. Finally the United States have fulfilled its promises, it’s beautiful.”
