    Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur BurataiOkoi Obono-Obla has criticised the Senate President, Bukola Saraki for saying that the declaration of IPOB as a terror group by the Army is unconstitutional.

    He said “The military, as part of the executive branch of government, has the right to declare that IPOB is a terrorist organization for the purpose of quelling the threat posed to national security and corporate existence of the country by the unwholesome and nefarious activities of the organization.

    “So, there is nothing absolutely wrong or unconstitutional for the military, for operational reason, to declare IPOB a terrorist organization.

    “Declaration of IPOB as a terrorist organization does not amount to proscription of IPOB. Proscription of IPOB will surely be in accordance with the procedure and processes underlined in the provisions of Section 2 (1) of the Terrorism (Prevention) Act 2011.

    “It provides thus: ‘Where two or more persons associate for the purpose of or where an organization engages in:

    *(a) participating or collaborating in an act of terrorism;

    *(b) promoting , encouraging or exhorting others to commit an act of terrorism ; or (c) setting or pursuing acts of terrorism, the judge in chambers may, on application made by the Attorney General, the National Security Adviser or Inspector- General of Police, on the approval of the President, declare any entity to be a proscribed organization and the notice should be published in official gazette.’

    “The military never proscribed IPO, but only declared it a terrorist organization, because of the way and manner it has been carrying out its activities.
