There were indications on Thursday that security agencies had
begun investigations to get identities of Nigerians, who might
joined the militant, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
The PUNCH reliably gathered that the action of security agencies
followed reports that a son of a former Chief Justice of Nigeria,
Justice Mohammed Uwais, had allegedly joined the militant group.
A top security source, who confided in one of our correspondents
in Abuja, said, “Besides Uwais’ son, we are trailing more
Nigerians, who recently travelled to the Middle East. I cannot
give you details for now. What I can say is that the militant
group is recruiting Nigerians.”
The Department of State Services, it was gathered, had declared
a manhunt for the son of Uwais.
He was said to have obtained a Turkish visa in Abuja and
travelled to Syria through Turkey to allegedly link up with the
Islamic militants who are waging a murderous war in Iraq and
part of Syria.
Security sources said the DSS leadership had briefed the state
directorates of the agency and the field operatives to be on the
look-out for the suspect and other Nigerians that may want to
head for Syria to join ISIS terrorists.
The source explained that all DSS personnel had been briefed
about the adventure of the junior Uwais, who allegedly travelled
to Turkey without telling his parents and other relatives.
“DSS operatives have been directed to be on the look-out for
the suspect because it has not been established whether the man
and his family are in Syria or not, but security agencies are not
relenting in their efforts to ascertain the location of the suspect
and everything is being done to prevent others from joining the
militants,” he stated.
An online medium, The Cable, had on Thursday reported that the
son of the former CJN allegedly gave his parents and everyone
around him the impression that he hated Boko Haram because of
the “damage” they are doing to Islam.
The Cable stated that 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.
When contacted, the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, did not
answer a call put to his mobile telephone line by one of our
correspondents at about 3.46pm on Thursday but later replied in
a text message that he was at a meeting.
Upon a further text message enquiry by one of our
correspondents, a wife of the former CJN sent a reply, requesting
that the family’s privacy should be respected.
The wife said, “I am his (the CJN’s) wife and ask that you
respect our family’s privacy at this period in our lives. Thank you
in appreciation of your understanding as a parent, sibling or
child yourself.”
When contacted, the Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel
Ojukwu, directed all inquiries on ISIS investigation to the DSS
and the National Intelligence Agency.
