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.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.
