Ibrahim Uwais, son of former chief justice of Nigeria, was killed in an air strike by US-led coalition forces on a senior ISIS leader in Iraq on May 6, reports TheCable.
Halima, Ibrahim’s wife who travelled with him to Iraq in February 2015, has called to inform her father-in-law, Mohammed, who was Nigeria’s chief justice from 1995 to 2006.
Abu Waheeb
Ibrahim was believed to be in the convoy of Abu Waheeb, a senior ISIS leader dubbed “the emir of Anbar”, at the time of the US airstrike in a town near Rutba in the Anbar desert.
It could not confirm if he was in Waheeb’s convoy or if he happened to be in the vicinity of the US strike.
All in the convoy were killed in the strike, but only the identity of Waheeb had been made public by Pentagon.
Waheeb had been reported killed on several occasions, but Pentagon confirmed that the former member of Al-Qaeda in Iraq who used to appear in ISIS execution videos is now dead.
Ibrahim, 42, left Nigeria early 2015 to join ISIS in a surprise move, because he was said to have openly condemned Boko Haram for the “damage” they were doing to Islam.
He had two wives and four children at the time he left the country.
While his elder wife was the head of a private school in Abuja, the younger worked with the Debt Management Office (DMO).
Before embarking on the trip to Iraq via Turkey, he reportedly told his wives that they were free to return to their parents.
But both of them said they would go with him and they took all their children with them.
When the retired justice was alerted on the disappearance of his son and his family, he became apprehensive and started to make investigations, eventually reporting to the security agencies.
The Turkish embassy in Abuja was compelled to disclose the details of Ibrahim’s movement through a court injunction, and it confirmed issuing visas to Ibrahim and members of his family.
The details of his arrival in Turkey were made available, while images of CCTV recordings were also said to have been analysed by the Turkish security agencies to establish their movement.
Rip
Rest in pieces
What took him there?
Was he a member of ISIS ?. Why was he found among them?.
You haven’t you read the full story? He went there to join ISIS.
U re right.
Then that serves him right. May be he started as BH. His father should be held responsible & should be made to explain…,.may be there will be more to it as up till now sponsors have been arrested. Abi?
You are on point. Let the father explain.
Explain for a man with two wives n five kids?. Haba
Ibrahim@ this chap have already forgotten them, if not why should he go & fight war that has nothing to do with his country or contingent .
No u said d father shld explain on his behalf. That is wer my query is coming from.
At 42, the father should be held to explain?
Under what law?
Is the shame on the family not a burden?
I wish we can apply the law to all other criminals then!
A disgrace,but a pity, must have been brain washed
I hate dat word ‘brainwashed’ an educated man above 40 with family brainwashed?? That word awakens pity in me and makes me feel he was compelled or forced at gun point to join d sect. He need not to be pitied. Dat man was full of wickedness. It was actually his plot and desire for blood dat made him join dat demonic sect. I suggest his wives and children be thorougly interogated and screened!
Let the father leave in peace you don’t know the trauma he’s going through. He gave his son the best thing a father could give a son leave justice to live in peace.He’s going through a lot now.
The father has nothing to explain about leave the gentle man alone this calamity is enough to take him to an early grave.
Ibro why?fine young man with beautiful children I knew you as an intelligent gentleman that doesn’t talk much all of a sudden after your studies in Malaysia I noticed you were not the ladies man I knew your trouser was jumped up,With beard and you warned people not to call you ibro but Ibrahim the people that brainwashed you shall burn in hell. Bye my friend and RIP.
How can he rest in peace?
Lol
He will never rest in peace but in hell by d grace of God
Tell those alive to accept jesus christ as their personal, lord & saviour
Tell those alive to accept jesus christ as their personal, lord & saviour
Daniel portraying your ignorance about Islam. A Muslim who doesn’t accept jesus is not a true Muslim, know this from today. You took jesus as the begotten Son of God but we said God is not human and can’t begot a Son. Jesus is a prohet of God. With this believe no Islam.

Sorry without this believe no Islam
Just say the usaul rip to this condemned soul.
Mohammad Yakubu: check out the meaning of “BEGOTTEN” in your dictionary and you’ll understand why Jesus the Christ is addressed as such.
Why don’t we leave his judgment to God?
@muhammad yakubu,you’re naive rather.dont allow islamic teaching or your family background to keep deceiving you,the man you’re following called prophet mohammed,do you really know his history & background? Is not too late for you to know the truth,it will set you free.
@olusola,read-up 1cor 2:15 & get back to me
@olusola,read-up 1cor 2:15 & get back to me
@ Abubakar Ramalan:all the warning signs were there, but people failed to connect the dots! And again, this’ a peculiar feature of children of elite background from the north who’re schooled abroad!
He will never rest in peace, Amen
He that has cap and head but failed to use them wisely, SHAME!!
He just got himself 72 virgins in paradise
U don see the virgins before?
Pls dont make mockery of what you dont know nothing about.
More of that pls. Most of those politicians children are terrorists
I’m saddened because is one the nicest fellas I’ve ever come across,he’s shy, intelligent, educated and he never lacked anything that life has to offer. I’m still baffled,what went wrong he has western and Islamic knowledge but still he was brainwashed. So so sad.
Now you have explained the reason: he never lacked anything!!!!!! Maybe if he knew what others pass through to get anything like success in life, he would not have thrown it away.
He forgot home entirely because had this guy took his wife, kids, dad, mum and sibling into consideration, he would not have gone overboard.
it goes a long way to indicate that you can never judge a man physical appearance
You can’t read the mind from the art work of the face.
He was my neighbour with a beautiful family, calm, calculated but i am sure he was brainwashed. I wish him fairwell
A currupt judge who thought his son how to hate ppl base on religious differences.
I disagree CJN uwais is a principled gentle elder statesman.
Ur so called cjn was the first to support election rigging in these country, is that principle?
So sad
Brainwashed? I think some people should go back and take a closer look at that word in the dictionary. May this guy rot in hell because he submitted, and allowed himself to be used by forces if Satan because he can not decipher between the forces of the evil & the true path which his father has given him. Once again I pray, may he burn in the innermost part of hell!
Judge not, so as not to be judged. May God grant him a merciful judgment
Merciful judgement, when please,in life or after death, mercy speaks when you are alive. After death is judgment, no second chance.
@ Godwin alumuku . . How can somebori belong to a group which killed ,maimed,raped, scatered peaceful family and enslaved people recklessly for a barbaric reason find mercy.was he rendering humanitarian help before the air strike caught him?May his soul not rest in peace
I concur with Lawal.I love pple that see d truth & say it as it is.
See how influential Moslems children are involved in terrorism interests are we saying his father is not aware?sure he is for his wife to call home and tell his family its unfortunate he chose the path I hope seven virgins who are hermaphrodites await his entrance in hell. Now we know those families behind terrorism in Nigeria .
Don’t be the judge
Don’t blame the parents pls as nobody calls u a robber,kidnapper or ritualist because of what your children,brothers and relations are doing daily in your area,a matured married man became a terrorist don’t blame anybody pls.
ALMOST ALL OF THESE DEVILS LOOK SHY & SILENT.BEWARE OF THESE SHY & REFREGRATED ACIDS !
Hahah…. I like u
Gentility of a tiger.
Gentility of a tiger.
Yes o Mohammed.
Da daya da daya.
@ Lawal I know the meaning of brainwash my comment is based on the fact I know the dude what he did was bad no one should support evil. Be as it may its still touching.
Nigeria’s justices aren’t lucky. Look at Uwais n Oputa! When it is not ISIS it is Charley Boying!
He was just in the wrong place at the right time
RAM Alan,I am no judge but mutalabs father came out with a statement and dissociated himself from his sons terrorist activities so which side are you on for terrorism or against?.
No right thinking person Will support evil.
Andy, justice Uwais wrote to d authorities when his son left Nigeria
RAM Alan,I am no judge but mutalabs father came out with a statement and dissociated himself from his sons terrorist activities so which side are you on for terrorism or against?.
So the father is in touch with them all along….??? Until we start doing the right….in this country……. He who kills by the sword…..must die tragically by the sword…
Don’t jump the gun yet don’t be presumptuous.

Mohammed Auwal I like your description
Mohammed Auwal I like your description
Fake posting by fake posters .A collection of rotten eggs
u don’t know what u are saying
Sad sad ibro why?
You People should not involve his father in this case. He can’t force his son to live a life.
But he could have said something abt this b4 now on the matter
My dear parents have power over children to a certain point in their lives. Maybe he only knew about the isis after he had become a member.
Is his father not an accomplice.
It baffles me how you think you can teleguide my comments…… My opinion …my right… I didn’t cross question you on yours….so don’t come around assuming the role of the post administrator……he was brainwashed my foot……a little boy of about sixteen was sent to Gwoza on suicidal mission… On getting to the police barracks there he gave himself.. On his own……when asked why he did that…he said he conscience wouldn’t let him……he is a Muslim by birth and practicing……. When someone is evil minded a tragic death awaits him or her….stop supporting bad deeds….he got what he desired….
Yet 2 Speak
Heeeeeeyaaaah.Hmmmmm.Ikunle Abiyamoooo oooo
Next time –if there is any,he wont try it.
Bastard son with foolish father and stupid wife. Oluwa je ki a bi omo gidi Amin.
Adebiyi take easy who no tomorrow your very sorry unless apology
Not all Muslims are killers, every human beings has his or her way how to live his life irrespective of parents. He,maybe didnotinform his parents the way he living in Iraq. Many ofourboys herein Nigeria are also killers through Robbery, Curtis or other immortality without the knowledge of their parents. Such is life.
The rich also cry.
How I wish there could be a better punishment for these evil people – ISIS. To me, death isn’t just the right punishment but so unfortunate that there is none.
I do not know why people are arguing over this wicked man. They must praise God that one agent of Satan has gone to hell.
Let him paid for the Price. ISIS belong to Satan Kingdom.And HELL Fire is for them. Repent God loves you!!!!!!!!
What were they doing in Iraq? Abi I dey work there. Na so them go de die one by one. Ndi ara.
To love only your child it’s some times else to that, RIP.
To love only your child it’s some times leads to that, RIP.
Abubakar Ramalan what went wrong was that he had everything, so he went for what he didn’t have, he lunched into adventure with his life. The lesson is that we should learn not to give our children everything. Only the very basic support is necessary. Why will I be interested in making money if I have $500,000,000.00 in my account as a student. I will probably look for some other thing of interest.
May this guy continue to die harder in his life to come if there is any.
There is always a price taq!
Aamen burn fire
Congratulations
