FG planning to ban Porn Websites-NSA

The National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo
Dasuki (retd.), says the Federal Government
is planning to introduce a law that will ban
and block all porn websites in the country.He
stated this at the closing ceremony of a
three-day workshop on use of social media
organised for Islamic preachers, Imams and
youths in Kaduna on Sunday.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the
workshop, which was organised by the
national body of Izalatil Bid’a Wa’iqamatis
Sunna, aimed at correcting anomalies in the
use of social media.
Dasuki, who was represented by the Minister
of Special Duties, Alhaji Kabiru Turaki, said,
“Government is planning to ban and block
websites that inculcate negative attitudes in
our children but we need a law to support
such move.
“Because without a law, people can go to
court and claim infringement on their rights.”
While urging preachers to avoid the use of
unguarded utterances against leaders, Dasuki
said preachers were not politicians but they
must play politics.
In his remarks, Governor Muktar Yero of
Kaduna State stressed the need for credible
people to join politics in order to contribute
their quota toward sanitising the system.
He cautioned people against using social
media negatively to blackmail others.
Yero called on Muslims to be united and
intensify efforts on prayers towards a violent-
free elections.
The National Chairman of the Islamic
organisation, Sheikh Abdullahi Bala-Lau,
appealed to the Federal Government to do
everything within its power to avoid
bloodshed, especially in the North-East of the
country.
He urged leaders in the country to ensure
equity, justice and fair play in leading
Nigerian citizens, irrespective of their
religious affiliation.
Bala-Lau advised politicians not to use the
workshop venue to send provocative
messages to their rivals.
