The
Federal Government of Nigeria has alerted Nigerians to the existence of a
newly-launched mobile application developed by the Islamic State of Iraq and
Syria (ISIS) for propagating Jihad to children.
In
a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, minister of
Information and Culture, said the mobile application, tagged 'Huroof' (Arabic
alphabets or letters), will 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.
ISIS, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, is a Salafi jihadist militant group that follows an Islamic
fundamentalist, Wahhabi doctrine of Sunni Islam.
