The Truth Alliance, in its relentless effort to counter extremist ideologies, has launched a community drama series as part of its “Time to Tell the Truth” campaign.

The aim, Elanza News reports, is to expose the recruitment tactics employed by terrorist groups in Borno State.

According to a statement released on Tuesday by the group’s Spokesperson, Mr. Ahmed Mustapha, the event took place from June 24th to 25th across various communities in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State. The drama was staged in accessible locations such as marketplaces, view centers, and other strategic places, ensuring widespread engagement.

Drawing on a true-life story, the play narrated the harrowing experience of a woman who fell victim to Boko Haram’s deception due to desperate economic circumstances. The narrative, told from a friend’s perspective, shed light on the woman’s dilemma: whether to escape the clutches of Boko Haram and face poverty and stigma or return to the chaos within the group.

The play emphasized that terrorist organizations manipulate and exploit individuals, disregarding human lives. It depicted the woman’s deep involvement with Boko Haram, her realization of the group’s deceit, and her journey towards freedom. The drama aimed to expose the truth behind these groups and their alarming recruitment strategies.

The community response to the drama was overwhelmingly positive. Attendees expressed gratitude for the enlightening and impactful experience the play provided.

Elanza News gathered that Kabiru Muhammad, a community stakeholder in Bolori, emphasized the need for collective efforts to expose these recruitment strategies and prevent future occurrences. He called on everyone to use the story as an example and encouraged stakeholders to promote peace. “This is a call to all of us to understand the deceiving strategy extremist groups use to recruit people to their ranks,” he stated.

Ali Habib, a young resident from Showkari, urged his peers to be cautious in choosing their friends, highlighting that negative influences can easily lead one astray, especially in the absence of employment opportunities. “Choosing a friend determines what future you want to have for yourself because when you choose someone that is into something bad, he or she would introduce you to it, especially when you are jobless,” he cautioned.

A woman from the Hausari community, who preferred to remain anonymous, emphasized the importance of parental responsibility and community support.

She attributed the vulnerability of individuals to both parental negligence and the lack of community assistance for those in need.

Elanza News reports that drama was performed in both Hausa and Kanuri languages, ensuring accessibility to a wide audience within the region.

Mr. Mustapha, in his statement, reaffirmed The Truth Alliance’s commitment to implementing localized initiatives that benefit the community through active engagement and education in combating extremist ideologies and cultivating a culture of peace.

He stated, “The Truth Alliance is dedicated to unveiling the truth behind violent and extremist groups 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.”

Under the campaign named “Time to Tell the Truth,” The Truth Alliance has united to expose the truth behind how violent extremist groups lure young people into their ranks. Their message is clear: these groups manipulate, deceive, control, kill, kidnap, and destroy, and their movement and ideology are inherently weak.
