Description
​

In Nigeria, a deradicalisation programme, the CVE programme, was developed to be used in prisons, encompassing the following four iterative stages (Barkindo & Bryans, 2016):
1)     Engagement – In which professionals know the violent extremist offender, gain their trust and establish a professional link;
2)     Risk assessment – The treatment team professional performs a risk assessment to know more about inmates’ motives to become violent extremists as well as assess their current risk;
3)     Needs assessment – In the third stage, professional evaluate needs related with risk in order to further reduce engagement in violent activities;
4)     Interventions/response – Implementation of interventions to reduce previously identified risks.
 
In the CVE programme, regarding the intervention used, seven different interventions relevant to the Nigerian context were developed: 1) motivational interviewing 2) vocational training and work experience; 3) education and cultural activities; 4) art therapy; 5) sports and games; 6) religious interventions; and 7) psychological and counselling interventions.
