A 25-year-old Muslim from Ghana has travelled to an Islamic
State training camp, becoming the first known recruit from the West African
nation to join the militant group, his family said on Tuesday.
Nazir Nortei Alema, a university graduate from the capital
Accra, had initially told his parents he was travelling to Prestea, a mining
town in the country's west. "Two weeks later on Aug. 16, we got a Whatsapp
message from him saying he was at a training ground to join the Islamic State
group in an unknown country," his brother Kabiru Alema told Reuters.
Kabiru Alema said his brother had not expressed any
particular interest in radical Islam but, in his message, Nazir Alema said that
by joining Islamic State he was obeying a call from Allah to abandon what he
called "the corrupt system". "He said he loves us so much and
that we should forgive him for not making his intentions known to us from the
beginning," his brother said.
