Lai Mohammed Reveals ISIS ’ New Recruitment Strategy

The federal government of Nigeria has revealed the new
method used by the terrorist group, ISIS, to recruit new
members.
According to Information Minister Lai Mohammed, ISIS has
now resorted to targeting vulnerable individuals, including
foreign students, using financial inducements to recruit them
into the terrorist organisation.
He quoted a report received by the Nigerian intelligence
community, which explained how 27 students of the
University of Medical Sciences and Technology, UMST, in
Sudan were recruited. He said this is the new method of
recruitment used by the terrorists.
According to him, 22 of the 27 students, who travelled to
Syria to join ISIS, are Britons.
”According to the report, the students were recruited by one
Mohammed Fakhri Al-khabbas, a former UMST student from
Middlesborough, United Kingdom,” he said.
“Many of the students are children of reputable doctors in
the UK. Their social media accounts also revealed them as
praising jihadists and championing ISIS’ cause,”
He then urged Nigerian parents, especially those who have
children and wards in foreign academic institutions, to pay
more attention to their activities, while urging schools
across the country to enlighten their students on the new
ISIS’ recruitment strategy.
