6:00Now PlayingSpecial adviser to the Nigerian president Bola Tinubu has told Sky's Gareth Barlow that Nigeria shared intelligence with the US ahead of the strikes, but he also says he isn't sure who exactly was targeted in the attacks.
Instead, Tinubu said "this is sketchy" - when asked about the possible targets.
He added that Nigeria will have more information "in the coming hours" about who specifically was hit, and that it could have been Lakurawa, Boko Haram or the so-called Islamic State - or affiliated groups. Mr Trump had said on Truth Social that the US launched a "powerful and deadly strike" against ISIS in northwest Nigeria.
