Stryker could have met a Nigerian crime boss earlier at his mineral-refining facility in Lagos, Nigeria. At the time, Stryker was seeking minerals for military applications, so he approached the crime boss to negotiate a supply.Pretty sure the place the crime boss was at was some sort of mineral refining facility, so if there was a meteorite crash nearby he probably thought there would be a good place to look
During the meeting, Stryker noticed an unusual rock displayed as a souvenir on the crime boss' desk. Intrigued, he asked about it and requested both the rock and information about its origin. The crime boss refused. The meeting ended without Stryker obtaining any minerals.
Later, Stryker returned with Team X, pressuring the crime boss for information about the rock’s source. The crime boss revealed that it had been found in a small village.
Team X was sent to that village to investigate. The villagers knew the true origin of the rock but refused to say, which led to a violent conflict. This conflcit caused Logan to leave Team X.
Eventually, Stryker get the location, people of village decided to reveal, after the conflict, so he traced the source to a meteorite impact site in Africa and secured the meteor himself. The meteorite had crashed before 1973.
The meteorite metal, was combined with steel to create a new alloy: Adamantium.
In Revised Timeline something similar happened, but without Team X.
