Ibrahim Uwais
The first wife of Ibrahim Uwais, a son of former Chief Justice
Mohammed Uwais who was killed near Aleppo, Syria by US forces, has been
detained by agents of the Department of State Security (DSS) after she
and her children returned to Nigeria.
Halima Ibrahim and her two children returned to Nigeria via Turkish
Airlines yesterday; a security source told a correspondent of
SaharaReporters.
Ibrahim Uwais' second wife remains in Syria with three of her kids,
the security source said. The second wife is believed to be a more
radical of Ibrahim Uwais' two wives.
Our source disclosed that Mrs. Halima Uwais and her children have
been detained by the Department of State Security pending an
investigation into their sojourn in Syria.
Ibrahim Uwais secretly traveled to Syria in February 2015 to join
extremist Islamist terror group, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria
(ISIS). He became one of the numerous Islamist terrorists who perished
when US forces targeted members of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria
in fierce airstrikes.
SaharaReporters learned that Ibrahim Uwais left Nigeria in 2015
after 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.
