The Nigerian Watch has reported that the son of Former chief
justice of Nigeria Muhammadu Uwais has gone to the Middle
East to join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (Isis) terrorist
group. He was said to have left Nigeria for Syria few days ago with his two
wives and children to allegedly enlist and fight alongside the Isis
terrorists who presently control large territories in Iraq, Syria and
Libya.
Justice Uwais, who after his retirement served as chairman of the
committee that reviewed Nigeria’s electoral laws in 2007, has been
informed about his son’s decision although it cannot yet be
ascertained if the son had been involved with Nigeria’s home-bred
Islamist terrorist group, Boko Haram.
The alleged move is seen as a big coup for the terrorists as it has
now become a growing trend among middle class Muslims from
wealthy families across the world who mostly abandons their
legitimate and lucrative careers to join the jihadist in their arm
struggle.
It was reported that European Muslims in their hundreds have left
their legitimate jobs to enlist with the terrorist group in Syria, Iraq
and Libya.
The terrorist group currently wreaking havoc in the Middle East is
said to have started attracting young Nigerians too. Meanwhile, this is not the first time a wealthy Nigerian son is being
linked to foreign terrorist activities as it would be recalled that on
December 25, 2009, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the youngest son
of Katsina’s Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, a rich Nigerian banker and
businessman, who had earlier served as a federal minister in the
1970s was arrested after a foiled attempt to use underwear bomb to
blow up an aircraft en route from Amsterdam to Detroit, Michigan
on the instructions of Al-Qaeda terrorist group which he is a
member.
He is currently serving four life sentences and a 50 year jail term
without parole in the United States for his crime.
However, suspected armed men on Tuesday March 3 stormed the
official residence of Nigeria’s former Chief Justice, Mohammed Uwais
and held him and his family at gun point.
Recall that the Federal Government warned on February 26, that
Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) is radicalising and recruiting
Nigerian youths who are studying abroad. http://www.naij.com/396080-justice-uwaiss-son-allegedly-joins-isis-in-middle-east.html

When i said we should take another look at our northern brothers that some of them are potential terrorists i was attacked recklessly now look at what is happening they have already started joining ISIS.Am sure many has already joined but this one made news because of his fathers promince.

Anyway thats their own cup of tea

Errrrrrrm....was that one a product of bad governance, poverty and neglect too?

I 'm amazed at the rapidity and easiness Isis can brainwash supposedly educated folks into joining them.

Ah religion, so useful when you need a potpourri of excuses to rationalise your desire to belittle others, hate and kill.

Opium indeed! Thanks Carl Max.

Buhari please come and save us. We need a man that has hatred for nonsense of any sort.
