Issuing the warning in a statement on Tuesday, the Director-General of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), Mike Omeri, said ISIS agents are all over Africa, disguised as international humanitarian organisations seeking volunteers and workers to support refugees and orphans. 
 
According to Omeri, intelligence reports indicated that three South Africans have been recruited as ISIS fighters by such groups 
 
He added: 
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Nigerians are known the world over to be selfless, hospitable and humanitarian. We believe in the brotherhood of all mankind and no one should be allowed to take advantage of these virtues or turn them into vices.” </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Nigerians are therefore advised to report to security agencies without hesitation, any group or non-governmental agency whose overt or covert activities are suspicious or have tendencies to jeopardize the innocence of our youth and the security of our people wherever they are in the world.”</blockquote>
He stated that the government’s commitment to stamping out terror and ensuring the protection of lives and  property, was still on point. He urged Nigerians to be security conscious and comply with security tips being supplied by Nigeria’s security agencies.

Vanguard quotes witnesses as saying that the Okada was in motion while the woman, simply identified as Ese, started to adjust the wrapper with which she strapped the baby to her back. In the process, the baby fell off right in the middle of the road before being crushed by the on-coming truck which was conveying crates of soft drinks. 
 
Officials of Ughelli Command of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) later arrived the scene to assist in clearing the dead baby’s remains.

Beijing police said the duo tested positive for marijuana and admitted using the drug. 
 
Jaycee’s father, Jackie Chan, who was named an anti-drug ambassador in 2009, has openly apologized over his son’s action, admitting embarrassment by the situation. 
 
He had written in a blogpost back in August:  
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Regarding this issue with my son Jaycee, I feel very angry and very shocked. As a public figure, I’m very ashamed. As a father, I’m heartbroken.”</blockquote>
Celebrities have been specially targeted in China’s current war against illegal drugs owing to their influence over the public. More than 7800 people have been busted Beijing alone, since June, when the crackdown began.
