Insurgency: Kukah urges more de-radicalization

The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese Bishop Mathew Kukah has urged larger groups and stakeholders’ involvement in the de-radicalization campaign to enhance fight against insurgency.

”Radicalization should be viewed beyond government burden as community intervention on the targeted persons and children could
shape the upbringing,” he stated at the Diocese’s end of the year press conference in Sokoto.

Broadening the horizon of the de-radicalisation campaign beyond military affairs, he noted, would enhance success in the drive.
Bishop Kukah who is also Head Justice, Peace and Development Council pointed out:” It is more of psychology that needed more open ups to incorporate more change of ideology efforts.”
