Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Faith-based organizations (FBOs) have increasingly become critical players in the fight against violent extremism and radicalization in Nigeria. In Bauchi Local Government Area (LGA), Bauchi State, religious leaders and organizations have been actively involved in efforts to counter the spread of radical ideologies, particularly among the youth. These organizations have sought to provide alternative narratives, promote peaceful coexistence, and reintegrate individuals who have been radicalized. As noted by Mohammed et al. (2024), faith-based approaches have the potential to challenge the ideological foundation of extremist groups by offering religious teachings that emphasize peace, tolerance, and unity. This study aims to assess the role of faith-based organizations in deradicalization programs in Bauchi LGA, focusing on their strategies, effectiveness, and challenges.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing involvement of faith-based organizations in deradicalization programs, there is limited research on their effectiveness and the specific contributions they make in combating radicalization in Bauchi LGA. This research aims to assess the impact of faith-based organizations in deradicalization, examining their strategies, the scope of their programs, and the challenges they face in reaching radicalized individuals.
