The federal government has alerted Nigerians of the latest strategy of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), Premium Times reports.
The warning was contained in a statement issued by Lai Mohammed, the minister of information and culture, through his spokesman, Segun Adeyemi, on Thursday, June 16.
According to it, the terrorists launched a new mobile application developed for propagating jihad to children.
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,” the minister said.
He called on all Nigerians to be vigilant and prevent their children and wards from being indoctrinated.
Earlier this month, the Department of Security Service arrested five people allegedly connected with the creation of training cells for ISIS.
Abdullahi Chiranchi, the state director of DSS, described the arrest as a significant breakthrough in blocking every possible move to make Kano a training ground for terrorists.
