A 9 year old pupil of Unique Blossom School Maitama, Miss Splendour Joe
Abisoye has presented to the Defence Headquarters a copy of her book
titled “Effects of Terrorism on Children”.
Accompanied by her parents Rev. and Mrs Joe King Abisoye, Splendour
stated that she was inspired to write the book as a result of the issue
of terrorism occurrences in Nigeria and her interactions with children
when she visited an Internally Displaced Persons Camp (IDPs).
She noted that the minds of these young ones have been debased. For
instance, Splendour said, many of them were said to prefer to join Boko
Haram group so as to be protected. Her inspiration was further boosted
to write with the understanding that these terrorists were once children
and only proper education could guarantee a terror free society.
She however sought to use the Defence Headquarters as a platform to
reach out to other stakeholders in the fight against terrorism in the
distribution of her books and to send them to all IDP camps, Almajiri
schools and all military schools in Nigeria.
