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.<\/p>\n
The cleric said this while commenting on the ongoing fight against terrorism in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
He emphasised the need for larger groups\u2019 and stakeholders\u2019 involvement in the campaign, adding that broadening the horizon would surely enhance achievement.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeradicalisation should be viewed beyond government burden as community intervention on the targeted persons and children could shape the upbringing.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is more of psychology that needed more open ups to incorporate more change of ideology efforts\u201d Kukah said.<\/p>\n
He commended media practitioners on their public awareness efforts, noting that despite challenges, more had been achieved in strengthening the face to face interaction.<\/p>\n
The Bishop appealed to government at all levels to strive more on areas merging the differences among ethnic and religious groups in the country.<\/p>\n
Kukah called on religious leaders to conduct themselves in a good manner so that their adherents would emulate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
