Nigeria provided the United States with intelligence on jihadists before the Christmas Day raids which President Donald Trump said were “powerful and deadly” strikes against Islamic State militants in northwestern Nigeria, weeks after he warned against any systemic assault on Christians in the country.

We spoke for 19 minutes before the strike and then we spoke again for another five minutes before it went on”.
