Nigerian Government warns against ISIS new mobile phone app to indoctrinate children

 

 

Federal Government has alerted Nigerians on the existence of a newly-launched mobile application developed by the ISIS for propagating jihad to children. The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, made this known in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Segun Adeyemi, in Abuja today.

 

The minister revealed that the 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," He urged parents and guardians to be vigilant and to prevent their children and wards from being indoctrinate.
