The federal government has warned that agents of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) are scouting in the country to recruit Nigerian youths as fighters for the terrorist group.
The Coordinator of the National Information Centre and Director-General of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), Mr. Mike Omeri, made this known in a statement signed by his Special Adviser, David Akoji. Omeri said intelligence reports had shown that three South African nationals were among some of the fighters recruited by ISIS agents operating under the guise of humanitarian support groups for refugees and orphans in Nigeria. He added that ISIS was scouting for fighters around the Islamic world and from Africa, and cautioned Nigerians against being lured into joining the terror group.
