Senate Upholds FG’s Proscription of IPOB ‘Until a Court of Competent Jurisdiction Says Otherwise’
The Senate President, Bukola Saraki-led Nigerian Senate has upheld the proscription of the Nnamdi Kanu-led Indigenous People of Biafra.
The Senate has supported the Federal Government’s ban on the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). It also advised that all groups seeking to pursue any agitation should do so through the constitutional means.
This resolution was announced by the Senate President, Abubakar Bukola Saraki.
The Senate spokesman, Aliyu Abdullahi Sabi, told journalists after plenary yesterday that IPOB through the extant law has been proscribed.
He said the legal process has been complied with in the terrorism act as the Attorney-General, Abubakar Malami, has done the needful.
He said: “For us, that law itself is based on our constitution. So, what we are saying here is if the Federal Government has taken the legal process to proscribe IPOB, as far as the Senate is concerned, that is the law of the land until a court of competent jurisdiction says otherwise.”
