A video circulating on social media features youths in the First Aid Group of Jama'atu Izalatil Bid'ah Wa Iqamatis Sunnah (JIBWIS) chanting for AK-47s and threatening attacks on "infidels" in Enugu and Jos. In the footage, a participant says, "Aban AK, Aban AK, Aban AK, Na je Enugu, Na je Enugu, cikin arna, cikin arna, tun ran Sunday, tun ran Sunday, suna murna, suna tapi, suna tapi, na basu wuta, na basu wuta, na basu wuta… tutu tutu tutu tutu… Aban AK, Aban AK, Aban AK, na je can Jos, na je can Jos."
The remarks have sparked calls for an investigation by JIBWIS and Amnesty International Nigeria, with concerns over the potential incitement of violence and the involvement of young people in militarized drills. The National Chairman of JIBWIS, Sheikh Abdullahi Bala Lau, condemned the video and urged security agencies to investigate and hold those responsible accountable.
The organization distanced itself from the violent rhetoric, emphasizing that such actions are inconsistent with its teachings. Amnesty International Nigeria called for an independent investigation, citing concerns about the presence of minors in the drills and urging authorities to protect children from exposure to violent rhetoric.
