Video of JIBWIS members threatening Christians in Nigeria emerges

A video has surfaced on-line displaying some members of the Agaji volunteer group of Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa Iqamatus Sunnah, JIBWIS, popularly often known as Izala, chanting lyrics that seem to name for armed assaults on residents in Enugu and Jos.

The footage, which gained consideration on social media, notably X on Sunday, exhibits a gaggle of uniformed younger males carrying brown apparel and blue berets, reportedly related to the Agaji volunteer wing of the Islamic group.

In the video, one of many males leads a morale music containing references to acquiring an AK-47 rifle to assault folks described as “infidels” in Enugu and Jos.

The chant contains the lyrics: “He should be given AK47. He would then go to Enugu, the land of the infidels. On Sunday when they are worshiping and clapping, he would then open fire, so that he can kill the infidels.”

The singer subsequently repeats the decision for an AK-47, this time referencing Jos, and chants about killing extra folks he describes as infidels, earlier than referring to the act as “the training.”

“He asked to be given AK-47 again. So that he can go to Jos and kill more infidels. That is the training.”

The actual date and site the place the video was recorded haven’t been verified.

The footage, which has sparked reactions on-line, raised issues over the opportunity of assaults on Christians in Nigeria.
