WASHINGTON, DC, DC, UNITED STATES, December 26, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Brad Brandon, CEO of Across Nigeria, and Troy A. Miller, president & CEO of the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), have issued the following statement regarding President Trump's airstrikes on Northwest Nigeria.

Brad Brandon, the CEO of Across Nigeria,

stated, "For well over a decade, Christians in Nigeria have been violently targeted by radical jihadi groups like ISWA and Boko Haram. On Christmas Day 2025, the United States military, in cooperation with the Nigerian government, executed a strategic series of airstrikes on several key ISWA strongholds in Northwest Nigeria. The strikes were made with the necessary precision that only the U.S. military could perform. This precision greatly minimized collateral damage and demolished multiple critical ISIS targets in the region."

I praise the ability of our military personnel who carried out the strikes and I fully support and appreciate President Trump’s swift action and volition to help the many suffering Christians in Northern Nigeria. I also commend the Nigerian government for its joint support and participation. The strikes on ISWA targets in Northern Nigeria are a crucial step in beginning to bring stability to Northern Nigeria and ISWA’s effectiveness in targeting Nigeria’s Christian’s. Nigeria’s Christians are comforted to know they have the United States' solidarity in their corner."

Troy A. Miller, the CEO of the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), stated, "Across the world, Christians face severe persecution in unprecedented numbers, with radical Islamist groups responsible for much of the violence—particularly in Nigeria, where thousands have been killed in recent years solely because of their faith.

On Christmas Day 2025, President Donald Trump, as Commander in Chief, authorized U.S. military strikes against ISIS terrorists in northwest Nigeria's Sokoto State. These precision operations, conducted in coordination with Nigerian authorities, targeted ISIS camps and killed multiple militants, disrupting their infrastructure and delivering a strong message that attacks on innocent civilians—especially the targeted killings of Christians—will not be tolerated.

As a U.S. Navy veteran, I am deeply proud of our armed forces for executing this mission with unmatched precision and effectiveness, qualities no other military in the world can rival. Thank you, President Trump, for acting decisively to protect persecuted Christians in Nigeria and for honoring your commitments on this issue.

I also extend gratitude to the Nigerian government for its cooperation and support in enabling this successful joint effort against terrorism. We continue to pray for God to bring peace to this area and to end religious hatred worldwide."
