IPOB ban: House decides on Tuesday, CDHR knocks Saraki

The House of Representatives will, on resumption, deliberate on the legality of the proscription of the Indigenous People of Biafra by the South-East governors.

The chairman of the House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Abdulrazak Namdas, disclosed this in an interview with The PUNCH on Tuesday.

Namadas was asked if the House considered the proscription of IPOB as legal. He was also asked to comment on the tagging of IPOB by the military as a terrorist group.

The Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, had on Monday described both actions as unconstitutional.
