The National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki,
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
organized for Islamic preachers, Imams and
youth in Kaduna on Sunday.
The workshop, which was organised by the
national body of Izalatil Bid’a Wa’iqamatis
Sunna, JIBWIS, aimed at correcting what it
considered anomalies in the use of social
media.
Mr. Dasuki, who was represented by the
Minister of Special Duties, 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 use of
unguided utterances against leaders, Mr.
Dasuki said that 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 sanitizing the system.
He cautioned people against the use of social
media negatively to blackmail others.
Mr. Yero called on Muslims to be united and
intensify efforts on prayers toward a
violence-free elections.
The National Chairman of the Islamic
organisation, Abdullahi Bala-Lau, appealed to
the Federal Government to do everything
within its power to avoid blood shade,
especially in the North-Eastern sub-region.
He urged leaders in the country to ensure
equity, justice and fair play in leading
Nigerian citizens irrespective of their religious
affiliation.
Mr. Bala-Lau advised politicians not to use the
workshop venue to send provocative messages
to their rivals.
The Emir of Zazzau, Shehu Idris, who was
represented by Yahaya Yusuf, called on
Muslims to emulate the holy Prophet of Islam
in both character and action to attract more
people to Islam.
