A Catholic priest has shared a reflective observation following reports that United States President Donald Trump ordered a deadly airstrike against ISIS terrorists operating in northern Nigeria.
The reported strike, which was recently confirmed in a news report, followed earlier warnings by Trump that severe action would be taken against terrorist groups accused of attacking Christians in the region.

According to the reports, the airstrike was carried out weeks after the warning, with terrorists allegedly targeted in parts of Sokoto State.
Priest reacts
Reacting hours after the development, the Catholic priest, identified on Facebook as FADA Ebubedike, reposted Trump’s announcement of the airstrikes and commented on its broader implications.
His post read …
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries! 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. The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing. Under my leadership, our Country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper. May God Bless our Military, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including the dead Terrorists, of which there will be many more if their slaughter of Christians continues.
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Me: GOD BLESS YOU Donald J. Trump
This shows that you’ve seen all the tags ND heard the cries of Nigerians. I’m am so happy.”
