Newly-formed alliance of civil society groups which work to expose the truth behind the tactics of violent extremist groups such as Boko Haram and ISWAP, have spoken about the utter disregard for human life and respect for the Islamic faith by both Boko Haram and ISWAP.
Intended as a wakeup call to all those engaged in the fight to defeat violent and extremist groups in Nigeria and beyond, the Truth Alliance is exposing the truth behind recent kidnappings describing them as “very destructive to the fabric of our once peaceful society” after describing violent extremist groups as “morally bankrupt” for lying to the people of Nigeria who continue to suffer every day from their acts of violence that leaves a trail of destruction and death.
A member of the Truth Alliance, Ahmad Mustapha, said, “violent extremist groups always conveniently find ways to hide the truth about what they do.
They are always out to harm innocent people, they lie, cheat and they commit all sorts of crimes against every member of society. They claim to represent Islam, but the truth is far from that.”
Commenting on the death of innocent Muslim worshippers after a recent suicide bombing in Northeast of Nigeria, some members of the Truth Alliance described the killings as having no part in Islam, revealing instead their “utter disregard for those who choose to worship during the Holiest month of the year.”
The Truth Alliance is a fearless advocate for justice and transparency, committed to unmasking the truth behind extremist agendas and empowering communities to resist tyranny and violence. Through education, outreach, and collaboration, the Truth Alliance strives to build a safer, more resilient society for all.
In a campaign tagged, “Time to Tell the Truth”, the Truth Alliance has come together to expose the truth behind how violent extremist groups draw young people into their ranks.
