ALERT!!! Federal government warns on mobile app developed by ISIS to indoctrinate children

The Federal Government, today, has alerted all Nigerians of the existence of a new mobile application developed by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

In a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday, Mr Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information and Culture, said the mobile application, called “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,” the minister said, according a statement issued by his spokesperson, Segun Adeyemi, on Thursday.

He pleaded to members of the public and parents in particular to be vigilant and to prevent their children and wards from being indoctrinated.
