Son of Nigeria's former Chief Justice who joined ISIS killed In Syrian Airstrike
Ibrahim Uwais, a son of former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mohammed
Uwais, died today near Aleppo, Syria as the United States targeted
members of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in fierce
airstrikes.
According to a source, the deceased had secretly traveled to Syria
in February 2015 to join ISIS, and was among the many Islamist terrorists
who died as the US military aircraft bombarded the terrorists camps near the Syrian city of Aleppo.
“Ibrahim
died today on the battlefield in Aleppo,” He added that one of the two
wives of the deceased currently trapped in Syria might notify the family
of his death.
SaharaReporters
learned that Ibrahim Uwais left Nigeria in 2015, telling close family
members he was headed to Turkey to explore business opportunities. He
took along his two wives and five kids. However, he slipped from Turkey
into Syria with his entire family and joined the burgeoning army of
volunteer fighters who travel from different parts of the world to
enlist with ISIS, a group whose agenda is to carve out an Islamist
caliphate. Justice Uwais was Nigeria’s Chief Justice between 1995 and 2006.
