    With the presidential assent, the two bills have now become Acts.

    Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, confirmed Mr. Jonathan had appended his signature to the bills to State House correspondents, on Monday.

    The Senate passed the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) bill 2015 on May 4.
