Senate President Bukola Saraki says the categorisation of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as a terrorist organisation by the defence headquarters and proscription of the group by south-east governors did not follow due process. https://www.thecable.ng/ipob-ban-unconstitutional-says-saraki 128 Likes 22 Shares

![]() How on earth do you designate an entire PEOPLE as terrorists simply because THEY ARE DARN DETERMINED TO GET A REFERENDUM to allow everyone decide FOR THE FIRST TIME if or not they want to continue in this island of fraud and social/political/economic injustice called "One Nigeria". You kill and maim innocent civilians in cold blood, yet you expect God, their friends, family and relatives to support your agenda. No, you've lost me already. 475 Likes 47 Shares |

Interesting but isn't the court supposed to judge on constitutionality? I guess the lawyers against the DHQ declaration are probably right. They need to get this approved by highcourt judge If Saraki is correct. Senate President Bukola Saraki, in a statement he personally signed today, said the proscription and the designation did not follow due process, as stated in the law. According to the Section 2 (c) of the terrorism prevention act, in setting up or pursuing acts of terrorism, the judge in chambers may on an application made by the Attorney-General, National Security Adviser or Inspector-General of Police on the approval of the President; declare an entity to be a proscribed organisation and the notice should be published in official gazette. 28 Likes |

I will start my own boycott of elections with anambra state governorship election. the south eastern governors has shown that they do not have the interest of their people at heart, but only serve their own interest, especially when they felt threatened. they forgot that they are serving their people there, that is their people that put them in that position to the present them. 227 Likes 21 Shares |

Where is the override? But in the real sense, we know that the military cannot declare any group as terrorists until the law does so. And we know that the SE govnrs cannot ban a group's activities, unless of course, the group is hell bent on causing civil unrest... iPods, pls, where is Kanu 25 Likes 4 Shares |

Override what. Saraki is on his own, northern senator cannot agree with him. What else did you want before it can be declared a terrorist group. A group that is violent and has their own secret security service, has drone to monitor Nigeria security outfits. So the army has plenty right 21 Likes 6 Shares |

Even an ordinary Customary court judge can upturn that nonsense proscription by both the millitary & governors as the law is clear and explicit on how to pronounce a body as a terrorist organization. It is only the judiciary, upon application that can pronounce a group as terrorists and not the executive, both at federal or state level. 55 Likes 6 Shares |

Blue3k:. I've always maintained that Nnamdi Kanu was wrong to call Nigeria a Zoo, the proper classification is Jungle. At least a Zoo has some semblance of order. In Nigeria nothing is done orderly. In the first place, the Military (reduced to merely doing police work) overreached their mandate by declaring IPOB a terrorist organisation. Secondly, the clueless South-East governor tried to capitalised on this by proscribing the group and announcing ban on rallies and protests, directing aggrieved citizen to channel grievances through Ohaneze. And there is the question of Ohaneze. In which way is Ohaneze more representative of Igbos than say IPOB or even MASSOB? Where do they derive their mandate from? And as if the litany of clueless act was not enough, a police commissioner criminalizes the possession of Biafra paraphernalia. One recurring decimal in all these is that the elites are trying to suppress freedom through exercise of power they do not possess. This is characteristic of jungle behaviour. This qualifies Nigeria as a Jungle! For the avoidance of doubt only the Judiciary has the right to pronounce IPOB as terror organisation. Yet I doubt if the same judiciary has the power to ban protest or agitation. That's where the South East governors got it wrong. 219 Likes 25 Shares |

PointB: I agree they are wrong because the didn't follow due process. The law says you need a judge to sign off on it. The lawyers opinions I read on opposition seemed more convincing. According to the Section 2 (c) of the terrorism prevention act, in setting up or pursuing acts of terrorism, the judge in chambers may on an application made by the Attorney-General, National Security Adviser or Inspector-General of Police on the approval of the President; declare an entity to be a proscribed organisation and the notice should be published in official gazette. 3 Likes |

Saraki,you could be termed IPOB, this is because some might say you are PDP and have leanings of your DSP. I will not shout my hearts out,on whether this is constitutional or not? I believe even "Pinky" in the 'Pinky and Brain show" knows that,let alone the President of the World's most populated black nation,his Dubai army chief,his security operative,and the akpu-headed Governors of the S/E. What is Osinbajo's input to this Government,as a Professor of Law? Let us assume Malami is a figurine,what is the VP saying? Hasn't he read the Anti-Terrorism Act,2011 as amended? Why do this FG like to continuously stretch the instruments of our constitution? Buhari...What did you learn in 1985? What did you learn about democracy? Why do you revel in unconstitutionality? The Army takes order from you as the C-in-C,so please call them to order.IPOB is not a terrorist organization. Do not push those 5 traitors to nodding their agama heads to you. Be a President and not a Shiekh. This is democracy,not fascism. Pls after the UNGA,come back and deny this. If you do not,know you have graduated from been a tyrant to a super-tyrant. And you know how super-tyrants end? Please don't be. God Bless us all. 41 Likes 2 Shares |
