President Jonathan approves order proscribing Boko Haram and Ansaru members; supporters, collaborators now face prosecution under terrorism prevention act.
President Goodluck Jonathan has formally approved the proscription of Boko Haram and authorized the gazetting of an order declaring the group’s activities illegal and acts of terrorism.
The order which has been gazetted as the Terrorism (Prevention) (Proscription Order) Notice 2013 affects both Boko Haram (Jamaatu Ahlis-Sunna Liddaawati Wal Jihad) and another group – Jama’atu Ansarul Muslimina Fi Biladis Sudan, was approved by President Jonathan pursuant to section 2 0f the Terrorism Prevention Act, 2011 (As Amended).It officially brings the activities of both groups within the purview of the Terrorism Prevention Act and any persons associated with the two groups can now be legally prosecuted and sentenced to penalties specified in the Act.
The proscription order warns the general public that any person “participating in any form of activities involving or concerning the collective intentions of the said groups will be violating the provisions of the Terrorism Prevention Act”.
Section 5 (1) of the act prescribes a term of imprisonment of not less than 20 years for any person who knowingly, in any manner, directly or indirectly, solicits or renders support for the commission of an act of terrorism or to a terrorist group.
For the purposes of subsection (1) of section, "support" includes -
(a) incitement to commit a terrorist act through the internet, or any electronic means or through the use of printed materials or through the dissemination of terrorist information;
(b) receipt or provision of material assistance, weapons including biological, chemical or nuclear weapons, explosives, training, transportation, false documentation or identification to terrorists or terrorist groups;
(c) receipt or provision of information or moral assistance, including invitation to adhere to a terrorist or terrorist group;
(d) entering or remaining in a country for the benefit of, or at the direction of or in association with a terrorist group; or
(e) the provision of, or making available, such financial or other related services prohibited under this Act or as may be prescribed by regulations made pursuant to this Act.

ReplyDeleteIdiot!!!
ReplyDeleteY is it now that election is around the corner that you are trying to act serious?
Nigerians cannot be fooled by you again.
What happened to all the countless lives that are already wasted while u were busy squandering Nigerians money with your cohorts?
Y did it take you this long to wake up????
Obviously you don't place any value on the lives and welfare of the Nigerian citizens.
Afo Anu....
You are d biggest IDIOT!!!!!! Y ar u nt d President? Ewu, nama anuofia like u. Whatever he does u belittle him. Appreciate him for whatever efforts he is making. Its pple like u that behave like bees, stinking one blind & drowning out all effort at shouts for help. Mtcheeew
DeleteI love how all this is coming together, now I am waiting, ANXIOUSLY for the reported list of boko haram sponsors. They have it, it's about time Nigerians get to know the men and women who have robbed them of sleep and peace of mind.
ReplyDelete"KUdO's His Excellency GEJ", more than 100million times behind you on this presidency, but ensure the laws are acted upon any person that aids this terrorist peeople and the peace of the innocent people of this country and beyound, God bless the FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NAIJA. 1luv
ReplyDeleteGood decision
ReplyDeleteNow he is talking,acting like a president he is. GEJ all the way!come 2015.Hausa/Fulani(Buhari) will not near that seat.
ReplyDeletePaper and biro implenentation! Normal tradition! Make we see weda this one go work
ReplyDeleteA phd doesnt determine intelligence, atleast GEJ proves it.
ReplyDeleteA warning to all these people wey de use boko haram play, very soon SSS go come knowing at your doors. Be careful how you use the word ' boko haram'. A word is enuf for the wise.
ReplyDeleteThe right move coming very late. But we can take consolation from the fact that now they've been rightly branded as terrorists there days are numbered and innocent nigerians can be safe again everywhere... God strengthen jonathan. God bless Nigeria
ReplyDeleteWhy are Nigerians commending Jonathan? He just disgraced himself in the global view and has indirectly become a laughing stock!
ReplyDeleteHow can a PHD holder offer amnesty to terrorist who killed lots of innocent people! It is after the World powers declared this so called people terrorist (which we were avoiding all these years), that the government realises they are actually terrorist!
Now the search is global and no longer national. Once these people have been caught, they will be treated as an international terrorist even though they are based in Nigeria.
Love ur comment annon 10:09
DeleteAs Youna people say - I wo yi la ro- too little to late.
ReplyDeleteGranting Amnesty to torrorist who hs inflicted unfogetable pains in the mines of many Nigeria was actually unethical by president jona.... Never negotiate with those idiotic bastard. Anywhere kudus to world president Obama for his concern cos Nigerian's safety is uncertain.
ReplyDeletei read some comment here and i laugh. How long did it take america to get osama? Ask urself now, is america realy winning d war against terrorism?
ReplyDeleteWen niger delta militants were holding d country to ransome, how long did it take befor obj made d mistake he made...levelling odi?
I stil wonder how pple dat have never led even their small play group think they hv more sense dan GEJ dat has bee annoited by God?
Check ur leadership record if u hv one...and check GEJ's, u will kw he has d quality.
If he acts fast and make mistakes...pple wil talk. Now he is acting slow but not making mistakes. So who is wiser?
