Terrorism: Kukah Sends Strong Message To Buhari

While commenting on the ongoing fight against terrorism in Nigeria, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Bishop Mathew Kukah, has called on the Nigerian government to consider deradicalisation campaign beyond what only military can handle.

Kukah, who is also Head, Justice, Peace and Development Council made the call on Tuesday in Sokoto during the Diocese`s end of the year news conference.

He emphasised the need for larger groups’ and stakeholders’ involvement in the campaign, adding that broadening the horizon would surely enhance achievement.

“Deradicalisation should be viewed beyond government burden as community intervention on the targeted persons and children could shape the upbringing.

“It is more of psychology that needed more open ups to incorporate more change of ideology efforts” Kukah said.

He commended media practitioners on their public awareness efforts, noting that despite challenges, more had been achieved in strengthening the face to face interaction.

The Bishop appealed to government at all levels to strive more on areas merging the differences among ethnic and religious groups in the country.

Kukah called on religious leaders to conduct themselves in a good manner so that the adherents would emulate.
