Nigerians Demand Action After Boys Threaten Christians in Video

Nigerians have called for an investigation following a viral video that allegedly shows a young man leading boys in JIBWIS volunteer uniforms in a chant threatening violence against Christians in Enugu State. The video, which has circulated on social media, features the man leading the boys as they march and sing in Hausa, with lyrics calling for an AK-47 rifle to attack churchgoers.

The chant describes Enugu as a land of “infidels” and includes sounds mimicking gunfire. The uniforms are linked to the First Aid Group (FAG) of Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa Iqamatis Sunnah (JIBWIS), but it is unclear if the individuals are registered members or if the activity was sanctioned by the organization.

The video has sparked widespread concern regarding religious intolerance and the potential for children to be exposed to violent rhetoric. Users on social media have condemned the actions depicted in the video and called for authorities to take appropriate action against those involved.
