BIG SHOCK!!…AL SHABAAB are now recruiting Young Girls to join the terror group
Kenyan Security agents have unearthed an elaborate scheme by the Al Shabaab of recruiting young girls
to the terror group as wives and concubines.
The revelation comes after police arrested three female university students on Friday at Elwak town on the Kenya-Somali border as they attempted to sneak to Somalia.
“They were to join the Al Shabaab group to become suicide bombers and jihadists, according to police,” said Marwa.
The three, Ummu-l-Khayr Sadir Abdulla, 19, Maryam Said Aboud, 20, and Khadija Abubakar Abdulkadir, will be arraigned in court today.
Marwa said the three were lured to join Al Shabaab through social media and added the police were pursuing the financiers who are targeting mainly students.
But according to the Ministry of Interior & Coordination of National Government, the young girls were lured by recruiters to be concubines or “what is commonly known as Jihadi Brides.”
The Ministry’s spokesman, Mwenda Njoka, said this is not the first-time young girls have volunteered, agreed or been lured to join terrorist organisations as JihadiBrides.
“Three years ago several young girls from Marsabit County disappeared from one of the local high schools and it was later discovered some had managed to sneak out of the country and into Somalia to become JihadBrides,” said Njoka in a statement.
