DHQ Clears Up Confusion Over ISIS Commander Abu-Bilal Al-Minuki’s Death
The Defence Headquarters has addressed reports that a terrorist leader named Abu-Bilal Al-Minuki was killed twice in separate operations. Former U.S. President Donald Trump and President Bola Tinubu both confirmed the recent operation, but the military noted it had earlier announced the death of someone using the same name in 2024. A spokesperson explained that extremists often adopt aliases, making it hard to track individuals. They say the 2026 operation used reliable human intelligence and technical surveillance to positively identify Al-Minuki. The DHQ described him as a senior figure coordinating terrorism and funding across the Sahel. It urged the public and media to rely on official statements and reaffirmed its commitment to ongoing counter-terrorism efforts.
