Ghanaian ISIS recruit greets Facebook friends with ‘joy’

Nazir Nortei Alema
The 25-year-old graduate of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Nazir Nortei Alema, who left home to join the swelling ranks of the Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq and Syria, a terrorist organization, has sent a message via Facebook to greet friends and family.
Nazir captured local and international news headlines in August, when news of his decision to join ISIS broke after his parents told Ghana’s national security of his decision. The National Security later confirmed the report and raised an alarm of an agency in Ghana that was targeting and recruiting young Muslims from tertiary institutions to join ISIS. On Wednesday November 11, a message popped up on Nazir’s Facebook wall. The message read “As-salaamu ‘Alaikum, From The Islamic State, with Joy.”
