FG planning to ban porn sites – NSA

The Nigerian government has said that it is planning to introduce a law banning all pornographic websites in the country. This was disclosed by the National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki on Sunday, January 25, in Kaduna.

Dasuki revealed this at the closing ceremony of a three-day workshop on use of social media organized for Islamic preachers, Imams and youths in the state.

The NSA, 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,” he added.

The workshop, aimed at correcting anomalies in the use of social media, was organised by the national body of Izalatil Bid’a Wa’iqamatis Sunna (JIBWIS).

The NSA also warned preachers to avoid making unguided utterances against leaders.
