Justice Uwais’s son who joined ISIS is killed

The son of former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, Ibrahim Uwais, was killed yesterday at Aleppo, Syria during airstrikes.

Ibrahim, who joined Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) last year, was killed during an airstrikes carried out by the United States.

According to SaharaReporters, Ibrahim, who secretly traveled to Syria in February 2015 to join ISIS, was one of numerous Islamist terrorists who died as US military aircraft bombarded ISIS camps near Aleppo.

The deceased was said to have died on the battle field, leaving behind two wives.
SaharaReporters learned that Ibrahim 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 army of ISIS. ISIS agenda, like Boko Haram in Nigeria, is to carve out an Islamist caliphate.

Uwais was the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria from 1995 until 2006. Later he chaired a commission that published a controversial report on electoral reform.
