An Islamic cleric in Plateau State, Sheikh Muhammad Sani Yahaya Jingir, popularly known to as the “fearless leader,” has declared that he is ready to confront the United States military.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING

The statement appeared in a short 28-second video that began circulating online early Thursday.

The video, shared by the X handle @General_Somto, shows the cleric speaking, with image of U.S. President Donald Trump seen in the footage.

In the video, Sheikh Jingir said that America cannot defeat them and that they are fully prepared if the U.S. chooses to fight.

“America cannot defeat us, and if they insist on fighting us, we’re more than ready to confront them,” he was quoted as saying.

The video emerged at a time of rising tension between Nigeria and the United States, following U.S. airstrikes carried out on December 25, 2025, against ISIS-linked fighters in Sokoto State.

Nigerian authorities confirmed that the strikes killed several ISWAP militants, though there were concerns about possible civilian casualties.

Since the video went viral, reactions online have been largely critical against Sheikh Jingir.

Some users mocked the cleric’s remarks, questioning how such threats could be made when Nigeria is still battling Boko Haram and armed bandits.

Others accused him of overlooking local security challenges while appearing to defend criminal groups.
