17th January, 2015 Home NSA office to prevent Boko Haram from recruiting JANUARY 17, 2015 BY FIDELIS SORIWEI Leave a Comment The Office of the National Security Adviser has said its de-radicalisation programme is designed to prevent the Boko Haram sect from recruiting Nigerians into it. The Coordinator, Soft Approach on Countering Violent Extremism, Nigeria’s De-radicalisation Programme of the ONSA, Dr. Fatima Akilu, said virtually all countries were taking steps to design a de-radicalisation programme to prevent people from being radicalised through interpretation of religious beliefs. Akilu stated this during a press briefing organised by the ONSA in collaboration with the European Union through the Instrument Contributing to Stability and Peace in Abuja on Friday. She said efforts would be focused in the de-radicalisation process to get out those unwilling to continue with the fight, prevent those who had the intention to join such groups and put a stop to the capacity of the terrorists to recruit. She added that such measures would give hope to the youth and the populace. According to her, the soft approach was intended to counter violent ideology, build trust and community resilience at the grassroots. Akilu explained that the Countering Violent Extremism Programme had three major components: counter-radicalisation, de-radicalisation and strategic communication. She added that the programme intended to build trust between the government, the citizenry and the communities’ resolve against violence through education and the ideology of hate. She said efforts would be made to integrate de-radicalised Boko Haram elements into the society through expertise of psychologists and clerics. Copyright PUNCH.All rights reserved.
