There are fears that this 25-year-old Ghanaian graduate
Nazir Nortei Alema (pictured above) has joined international
terrorist group, Islamic State in Syria. Nazir who is a
graduate of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and
Technology (KNUST) with a degree in Geography and Rural
Development, allegedly left Ghana this month to join the
terror group.
Nazir's father, Kabiru Alema, said soon after completing his
mandatory National Service in Ghana on August 2nd, Nazir
sent a WhatsApp message to him saying that he was on his
way to another region in Ghana on a job-related
assignment.
Hours later, Nazir sent another one with a different content.
“Pray for me, for I will never forget you in my prayer
and it’s my hope and prayer that we meet again if
not in this world then in Jannah (paradise). I love
you all. May Allah grant us understanding and guide
us all to the straight path. Asalaamu alaikum. I told
you a lie to please my Allah. The deception was to
go do some research work in far away Prestea while
the main idea was to move far away from you all to
the Islamic State (IS). I know it might sound kind of
crazy for you but your son really had to take this
bold step to get out of the corrupt system of Ghana
which has democracy first on its list.”the message

Nazir's father says his son and other young men who are
believed to have joined the terror group were part of an
Islamic group on Whatsapp named “Sadaqa Train,” where
they are brainwashed and all of them had extreme ideas of
Islam.
“The youth who have fallen prey to the ISIS craze
belong to the same whatsapp group on which they
share extreme ideas about Islam.”
He says his son's friends that were also on the chat group
are no where to be found now. He also added that some
disturbing videos have been spotted on his son’s laptop, a
clear indicator that Nazir has been sufficiently brainwashed
online.
