•Unveils de-radicalisation Programme
The National Security Adviser (ONSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki, has vowed to
stop the capacity of the Boko Haram terrorist group to recruit new
members.
This is part of the country's triple-component countering violent extremism (CVE) programme,
Dasuki who was represented by the Director, Behavioural Analysis and
Strategic Communications, Office of the NSA (ONSA), Dr. Fatima Akilu,
stated this on Friday in Abuja at the unveiling of the de-radicalisation
programme
He said that the event was an interactive session organized by ONSA
with the support of the European Union (EU) through the Instrument
Contributing to Stability and Peace (IcSP), in order to familiarize the
public with the efforts of government in its soft approaches to
counter-terrorism.
Dasuki noted that every country has a tailored deradicalisation
programme with Nigeria having three main components of the CVE ~
counter-radicalisation, de-radicalisation programme and strategic
communication.
He said: "Every country has a tailored deradicalisation program, which
takes a different form from other programs in different parts of the
world; the programs share the fundamental principle of ensuring that
would-be terrorists must be dissuaded from radical belief systems in the
interpretation of religion and behaviour towards others.
