Trump’s Threat: ISWAP terrorists React, Issues Stern Warning
The Islamic State West Africa Province, ISWAP, has reportedly reacted to the recent threat by President Donald Trump to launch military action in Nigeria.
Trump, who had designated Nigeria as Country of Particular Concern, had also informed the US department of war to prepare for possible action in Nigeria over the alleged genocide against Christians in the country.
A security expert, Zagazola Makama said in a report he posted on his official X handle that the terrorist group reacted to Trump’s threat via a “propaganda message circulated on its usual communication channels”.
He said ISWAP in its message, described Trump as a “reckless American tyrant,” alleging that the US President was being influenced by “evangelical Christian and Jewish advisers” during his administration.
The group, according to Zagazola, claimed that Trump’s move signaled what it described as an attempt by the United States to project itself as a “global defender of Christians.”
He said the extremists also warned its fighters against the use of smart phones, urging them to avoid large gatherings and limit movement.
In the statement, the group called on Muslims in West Africa to “unite” and take the alleged US threat seriously, accusing the West of what it termed “crimes against African Muslims.”
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
