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 organised 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
