The Federal Government on Thursday alerted Nigerians of the latest antics of the Islamic State.
According to a statement issued by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, ISIS has launched a new mobile application designed to propagate Jihad to children.
The statement signed by Mr. Segun Adeyemi, Special Assistant to the minister, said the mobile application, tagged “Huroof” (Arabic alphabets or letters), would be used by ISIS to teach children the Arabic alphabets with the aid of guns, military tanks and cannons.
