The Federal Government has raised alarm over
the presence of some agents of the Islamic State
of Iraq and Syria, ISIS, in Nigeria to recruit more
fighters into their fold. The National Coordinator,
National Information Centre and Director-General
of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), Mike
Omeri made this known in a statement signed by
his Special Adviser, David Akoji yesterday Dec.
23.
Omeri said that intelligence information gathered
by Security officials show that three South
African nationals disguising as humanitarian
workers are currently in the country to facilitate
the recruitment of some Nigerians into the
islamic terror group. He appealed to Nigerians to
be vigilant and report humanitarian workers with
suspicious motives
"Nigerians are known the world over to be
selfless, hospitable and humanitarian. We
believe in the brotherhood of all mankind
and no one should be allowed to take
advantage of these virtues or turn them
into vices. Nigerians are therefore advised
to report to security agencies without
hesitation, any group or non-governmental
agency whose overt or covert activities are
suspicious or have tendencies to jeopardise
the innocence of our youths and the
security of our people wherever they are in
the world,” he said.
