Crypto giant Circle rebuffed efforts to help scam victims, police say US President Donald Trump said on Friday that Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, second in command of Isis globally, had been eliminated in an operation conducted by US and Nigerian forces.
“Tonight, at my direction, brave American forces and the Armed Forces of Nigeria flawlessly executed a meticulously planned and very complex mission to eliminate the most active terrorist in the world from the battlefield,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

Al-Minuki had been placed under US sanctions in 2023 for ties to the group.
“He will no longer terrorise the people of Africa, or help plan operations to target Americans,” Trump said. “With his removal, Isis’ global operation is greatly diminished.”
