StarrFMonline.com investigations have revealed that potential Isis recruits in Ghana hold regular meetings at a specific house around Palm Wine Junction in Accra.

The meetings often take place on Fridays and Wednesdays. The potential recruits also, occasionally, meet on weekends, sources familiar with their operations have told StarrFMonline.com.

The revelations come on the back of reports that a Ghanaian, Nazir Nortei Alema, has joined the Islamist militant group.

The 25-year- old graduate of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), according to the Daily Guide Newspaper, has thrown his family into a health-threatening stress, as he is reported to have joined the bloodthirsty group in Iraq and Syria.

With a degree in Geography and Rural Development, he is one of the 10 suspected Muslim youth from Ghana who have finally taken the decision to join the terrorist grouping, whose stock-in-trade is public beheading of their opponents or those they regard as infidels.

His father,Abdul Latif Alema , has also confirmed that his son has been having meetings with his colleagues who are also potential recruits at a hideout near the Palm wine Junction at Labadi in Accra.

Meanwhile, the National Security has begun investigations into the matter.
