The Ghanaian graduate from the Kwame Nkrumah University
of Science and Technology (KNUST) who joined ISIS terror group has been
reportedly killed.
Sources
close to the family of Mohammed Nazir Nortei Alema told the Finder
newspaper that the final funeral rites, Adua in Islam were held on
Sunday, March 21.
Nazir who
joined the terror group in August 2015 was reportedly killed in the
Syrian city of Homs. Sheik Abdul Rahman, the former Chief Imam of London
who named Nazir at birth , led the Adua prayers held in Osu, where the
family of the deceased lives.
The
family got the news of his demise through another Ghanaian ISIS recruit
identified as Mr Yusif, a graduate of the University of Mines in
Prestea.
The news of
Nazir joining ISIS caused an uproar on the campus. Students were shocked
because his demeanour never showed him as someone with the slightest
inclination to violence.
Shortly
after he left, Nazir reportedly sent a message to his family informing
them about his decision to join ISIS after completing a one-year
National Service with the Ghana Statistical Service.
