Another resident, Abubakar Sani, whose house is located near the epicenter, noted: "As it approached our area, the heat became stronger and stronger. Our rooms began to shake, and then a fire broke out."

US President Donald Trump confirmed the operation, calling it a "powerful and deadly strike" against Islamic State (ISIS) forces. The Nigerian government officially acknowledged the joint attack on the terrorists' camp.
Despite the fact that neighboring regions regularly suffer from radical attacks, no terrorist attacks had been recorded in Jabo village itself before. This increased the outrage of local residents.
The Nigerian government must take appropriate measures to protect us as citizens. We have never faced anything like this before
