The US president, in a Truth Social post announcing the attack, said that "ISIS terrorist scum" had been targeted with "powerful and deadly strikes".
In a series of attacks on 25 December, the US hit areas of northwestern Nigeria, working in cooperation with the country's government.
However, Bola Tinubu, adviser to the president in Abuja, told Sky News that he wasn't sure who exactly was targeted in Washington's strikes.
Instead, Mr Tinubu said that details were "sketchy" and he hoped more information would emerge in the coming hours and days. He also said he hoped his country's cooperation with the US would continue.
Mr Tinubu added that it could have been Lakurawa, Boko Haram or the so-called Islamic State - or affiliated groups - that were targeted.
Trump's claims of Christian persecution
The attacks came about after persistent claims from the White House and Mr Trump in recent months that Christians were being persecuted and attacked in Nigeria.
It is true that Christian communities have suffered in the country - where multiple armed groups operate and pose challenges to the government - but data suggests violence against Muslim communities has been reported at a similar rate.
When it comes to attacks on religious sites, more have been reported at mosques over the past year than at churches.
Before 2025, incidents at churches were more common.
It's been suggested to Sky News, including by the Nigerian president's adviser, that Mr Trump's claims of Christian persecution were more for his domestic support base.
'My family is afraid'
On the ground in Nigeria, locals were left rattled by the attacks.
So far, strikes have been confirmed to have taken place in Jabo, in the Sokoto region, and in Offa, in the Kwara region.
In Jabo, Balira Sa'idu said the strikes "changed everything". The 17-year-old added: "I am supposed to be thinking about my wedding, but right now I am panicking. The strike has changed everything. My family is afraid, and I don't even know if it is safe to continue with the wedding plan in Jabo."

Sanusi Madabo, a 40-year-old farmer, said he was preparing for bed in the same village when he heard a loud noise that sounded like a plane crashing. He said he and his wife rushed outside to see the sky glowing red.
The light from the fire burned bright for hours, Madabo said, adding: "It was almost like daytime."
He only learned later that he had witnessed the US attack on an alleged IS camp.
After the strikes were announced on Christmas Day, US defence secretary Pete Hegseth said in a social media post: "More to come..."
The family of Matthew Upham said in a statement on his Instagram page that they are "heartbroken by the loss of our beloved family member... who was lost on Christmas morning".
"Matthew is deeply loved and will be forever missed," the statement adds.
It was posted on the Matthew Upham Antiques Instagram account, an antiques shop in Budleigh Salterton.
Coastguard rescue teams and RNLI lifeboat teams were called to Budleigh Salterton at 10.25am on Christmas Day after the alarm was raised.
Videos filmed yesterday morning showed scores of swimmers running into the sea at Budleigh Salterton and battling huge waves crashing on to the shore.
A number of people were rescued from the water and checked by paramedics or taken to hospital by the emergency crews.
But two men, aged in their 40s and 60s, have not been found, police said. The search for them was ended on Thursday night.
A spokesman for the coastguard said: "After extensive shoreline and offshore searches, the HM Coastguard part of the search was stood down at 5pm."
"We would like to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks to the emergency services who responded, particularly the RNLI and coastguard, for their dedication, professionalism, and tireless efforts during this extremely difficult time," said Mr Upham's family.
"We are profoundly grateful for their compassion and support."
"As we grieve and support one another, we kindly ask that our family's privacy is respected. We thank everyone for their understanding, kindness, and condolences."
Devon and Cornwall Police said the families of the men were being kept informed.
RNLI Torbay and RNLI Teignmouth, involved in the search, described the conditions at sea as "punishing".
They urged swimmers to take account of weather conditions and to know the limits of their abilities.
Police urged people not to go swimming in the sea on Boxing Day after weather warnings were put into place.
The US president told Politico: "He doesn't have anything until I approve it, so we'll see what he's got."
The two leaders will discuss details of the 20-point peace plan that is "about 90% ready", according to President Zelenskyy.
The Ukrainian president told Axios that he is open to putting the plan to his country's people, with a referendum, as long as Russia agrees to a 60-day ceasefire to allow Ukraine to prepare for and hold such a vote.
Sunday's meeting is the latest development in an extensive US-led diplomatic push to close the nearly four-year Russia-Ukraine war, but efforts have run into sharply conflicting demands by Moscow and Kyiv.
Mr Zelenskyy said Ukraine "would like the Europeans to be involved", but doubted it would be possible at short notice.
Sir Keir Starmer spoke to the leaders of France and Germany on Friday afternoon and confirmed they would all "continue coordinating" to "achieve a lasting peace" in Ukraine, according to a Downing Street spokesperson.
Researchers in the US have told Reuters that Russia is likely stationing its new nuclear-capable hypersonic ballistic missiles at a former airbase in eastern Belarus.
Although President Putin has been open about his intention to place the Oreshnik missiles in Belarus, the exact location had not been previously reported.
Researchers Jeffrey Lewis of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies and Decker Eveleth of the CNA research and analysis organisation said their findings were based on imagery from Planet Labs, a commercial satellite firm, that showed features consistent with a Russian strategic missile base.
Putin plans to deploy the weapon "in Belarus to extend its range further into Europe," said John Foreman, an expert with the Chatham House who served as a British defence attache in Moscow and Kyiv.
The state-run Belta news agency in Belarus quoted defence minister Viktor Khrenin on Wednesday as saying that the Oreshnik's deployment would not alter the balance of power in Europe and was "our response" to the West's "aggressive actions."

Ukraine hits major Russian oil refinery with British missiles, officials say
Ukraine and US agree updated 20-point peace plan
Earlier on Friday, Russia said it had downed seven British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles over the past week.
The Russian defence ministry said its forces were able to destroy the missiles, Russian media reported.
Meanwhile, Russian overnight drone strikes damaged Slovakia-, Palau- and Liberia-flagged vessels in ports in the Odesa and Mykolaiv regions, Ukraine's deputy prime minister said on Friday.
In recent weeks, Russia has intensified attacks on the southern Odesa region, and Ukrainian officials said Moscow aimed to cut Ukraine off from the Black Sea and sow chaos among civilians.
Ukraine's General Staff said its forces hit the Novoshakhtinsk refinery in Russia's Rostov region. Rostov regional governor Yuri Slyusar said a firefighter was wounded when extinguishing the fire.
Ukraine's long-range drone strikes on Russian refineries aim to deprive Moscow of the oil export revenue it needs to pursue its full-scale invasion.
Russian troops have also taken control of the settlement of Kosivstseve in the Zaporizhzhia region in eastern Ukraine, Reuters reported on Friday.
Mr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday he would be willing to withdraw troops from the country's eastern industrial heartland as part of a plan to end the war, if Russia also pulls back and the area becomes a demilitarised zone monitored by international forces.
Though Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday there had been "slow but steady progress" in talks to end the war, Moscow has given no indication it will agree to any kind of withdrawal from land it has seized.
In fact, Russia has insisted that Ukraine relinquish the remaining territory it still holds in the Donbas - an ultimatum Kyiv has rejected.
Russia has captured most of Luhansk and about 70% of Donetsk - the two areas that make up the Donbas.
French police detained a man suspected of carrying out the attacks in three different stations of the Paris Metro on Friday evening.
The three women were stabbed at Republique, Arts et Metiers and Opera stations at around 4pm local time.
They were given medical attention by firefighters and sustained only minor injuries, two of them to their backs and thighs, according to Le Parisien.
"The young woman was injured in the thigh," a witness told the newspaper. She was at the Republique station at the time of the attack.
"There was quite a lot of blood; it was a pretty deep cut."
The prosecutor's office said their wounds were not life-threatening.

The suspect, a man in his mid-20s, fled the scene and was then arrested at his home, according to C News.
The prosecutor's office said he was previously known to police and he was identified thanks to CCTV.
"Thanks to the immediate action" of the emergency services, "the suspected individual has been apprehended", posted the official Parisian police account on X.
"I extend all my wishes for a prompt recovery to the 3 victims who were slightly injured and taken in charge by the emergency services, whom I also salute."
The possibility of terrorism has been ruled out, according to local media.
Emergency teams were called to a property on Brimscombe Hill, near Stroud, at around 3am, a Gloucestershire Police spokesperson said.
One person managed to escape the property and was taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital for treatment.
"Three other people, who are believed to have been inside the property, have not yet been accounted for and efforts to locate them are ongoing," the spokesperson added.
Gloucestershire Police said officers attended the scene alongside crews from Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service and the ambulance service.
