JIBWIS Member Arrested for Anti-Christian Violence Chant
The Zamfara State Police Command arrested 22-year-old Umar Ibrahim Gandi Maradun for allegedly calling for AK-47 rifles to kill Christians in a viral video. The video, recorded on October 23, showed him chanting while accompanied by pupils from Nurul Islam Islamiya and Akidatul Sahiha Islamiya schools in Maradun Local Government Area.
Zamfara State Commissioner of Police, Muhammad Bello, confirmed the arrest and stated that the police utilized intelligence resources to identify those involved. Maradun, a Nigerian citizen born on September 15, 2004, was dressed in the uniform of the JIBWIS First Aid Group during the incident.
The organization has distanced itself from his actions and cooperated with the police by handing him over for investigation. The police are engaging with JIBWIS leadership to clarify the circumstances surrounding the video.
