The
Federal Government has alerted Nigerians of the latest antics of the Islamic
State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
According
to a statement by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
ISIS has a newly-launched mobile application developed for propagating Jihad to
children.
The
statement which was signed by Mr. Segun Adeyemi, Special Assistant to the
minister, stated that the said mobile application, tagged: ‘Huroof’ (Arabic
alphabets or letters), is to be used by ISIS to teach children the Arabic
alphabets with the aid of guns, military tanks and cannons.
‘’The
application utilizes colourful illustrations that attract and engage the
attention of young children,’’ the minister said, urging members of the public
in general and parents in particular to be vigilant and to prevent their
children and wards from being indoctrinated.
