A human
right organisation, Global Risk Insights, today raised an alert that ISIS
terrorist group has started recruiting youths in Ghana.
The study says potential recruits
are enticed by Islamic State’s promise of a “lavish lifestyle in Syria and
Iraq’’ and better living conditions for family left behind.
It attributed the success to
unemployment which remained high in Ghana, especially among the youths as one
of the reasons they easily penetrated.
The group sighted the example of
Mohammed Alema, 25, a Geography undergraduate at Kwame Nkrumah University, who
made news recently when he disappeared from home in Ghana to join ISIS.
