BEVERLY HILLS, March 04, (THEWILL) – The identity of the son of a former Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), retired Justice Muhammadu Uwais, GCON, who has allegedly joined the terrorist group, Islamic State, (ISIS) in Syria has been revealed as Ibrahim.
Ibrahim, 41, the third son of the respected retired jurist, studied at the Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, Kaduna State, where he majored in Business Administration, sources close to the family told THEWILL Wednesday.
THEWILL was also told that Nigerian intelligence officers have debriefed Justice Uwais and members of the Uwais family. The Uwais family has also been receiving messages of solidarity from friends and prominent Nigerians on the development since the news of Ibrahim's radicalization broke.
THEWILL had earlier exclusively reported that Ibrahim, his two wives and five children abandoned their family home in Abuja some days back for Syria via Dubai, where he is believed to have joined the notorious Islamic terrorist group fighting to establish an Islamic caliphate in the middle east.
Intelligence reports from the Saudi government through diplomatic channels to the Nigerian government, according to security sources, confirmed that Ibrahim and his family, who have not made contact with their anxious families in Nigeria since their departure, have since arrived in Syria.
ISIS presently controls large territories in Iraq, Syria and Libya, where they have been brutal with their jihad.
