Islamic group confirms the abduction of 20 its members

An Islamic group, Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa’ikamatis Sunnah (JIBWIS) has confirmed the abduction of about 20 members of its First Aid Group (FAG).

The JIBWIS said its members were kidnapped on December 23, 2018 at Jibiya Local Government Area of Katsina state.

Daily Trust reports that the national chairman of JIBWIS, Council of Ulama, Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir, while speaking at a press conference in Jos, Plateau state said his colleagues were kidnapped while on their way back to Sokoto State after attending the first aid camping held in Dutse of Jigawa state.

Jingir said: “Our members of the First Aid Group from Sokoto state on their way home were kidnapped after they have left Jibya in Katsina State before they enter Zamfara state,

“The kidnappers peacefully stopped them, took them out of their bus, before moving them into the bush. Their bus was abandoned and we were able to retrieve it," Jingir added.

He also added that the abductors were yet to contact the leadership of the group.

He urged the abductors, “to fear Allah, they should know that the hostages were only first aiders, nobody is paying them salary, they only render help to people.”

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that unknown gunmen on Monday, November 20, invaded Shendam local government area of Plateau state and whisked away the traditional ruler of Long Dorok Chiefdom.
