Senior DIG in charge of Western Province and all divisions senior officers in the province have been informed to be vigilant over the information.
It was reported that a WhatsApp group called 'Interschool' is related to the ISIS and if someone was invited to join, they could not leave the group after joining.
The Director of the Western Province Intelligence Division has instructed the Senior DIG Western Province that it would be appropriate for the relevant section to conduct a speedy investigation into the information received them on this WhatsApp group.

Uneducated thinking...one black sheep and a whole community or religion is bad, developed countries get attacked and they go and hug the communities who are innocent and who detest terrorism just as they do, they don't go and mark everyone from that community bad..grow up

Any threat should be seriously investigated. But this seems like a plot to start racism all over again.

This WhatsApp message circulating since more than two years. No one gave a damn to it. Why this sudden concern? your guess is good as mine..

This looks like another Drama staged in continuation of the ones to sideline the April 2019 Easter disaster.

Do not waste time and energy on this so called war on terror. It is a USA made Polly to trap all other small countries like us . It is utterly waste of time and resources for us to engage in this crafty Political manipulation to fool public to capture power . Karuma will haunt you. We people of East do not follow the crafty West. Your heart and it's consciousness is enough for you to judge the West . You do not need to have Holly books to judge them. They are corrupt and try to corrupt the world . Do not follow them on this . You will be looser sooner or later

What nonsense, anyone is free to leave, mute or archive a whatsapp group if they are uninterested. Anyway, this story was circulating for a few years, but only NOW we pay attention? I smell a rat ;)
