Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.

Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.

“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.

It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.

“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.

He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”

It has been stated by the former president of the AGN, Actors Guild of Nigeria, Emeka Rollas, that it is true that Abubakar Yakubu, the newly elected AGN president, has been arrested following a car accident.

He shared that the incident involved the death of a child, which led to the arrest. He explained that his car had a brake failure which resulted in the tragic accident.

Unfortunately, the car crash led to the loss of a child’s life, which caused the authorities to act, and Abubakar easily complied.

An understanding between the child’s parents was made, as it was no one’s fault and was truly an accident that could not have been prevented.
