President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday formally proscribed the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram, and its splinter group, Ansaru.

This step is seen as part of strategies to deepen the current offensive against the insurgents and, ultimately, combating terrorism and eradicate terrorist activities in the northern part of the country.

Also yesterday, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt-General Azubuike Ihejirika, said the counter insurgency military operations in the three states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe, which are under emergency rule, would be reviewed for greater efficiency and also to reduce personnel and civilian casualties.

President Jonathan, who took the step to ban the sect only a day after the United States offered a reward of $23 million for the capture of Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, and other Al Qaeda terrorists, also authorized the gazetting of an order declaring the group’s activities illegal and acts of terrorism, relying on the provisions of Section 2 of the Terrorism Prevention Act, 2011 (as amended).

The Act, among other punishments, prescribes a jail term of at least 20 years for whoever violates the provision.

President Jonathan’s approval of the proscription order and subsequent gazetting was disclosed yesterday through a statement by the Presidential spokesman, Dr. Reuben Abati.
The order has been gazetted as the Terrorism (Prevention) (Proscription Order) Notice 2013, affecting both Boko Haram (Jamaatu Ahlis-Sunna Liddaawati Wal Jihad) and another group – Jama’atu Ansarul Muslimina Fi Biladis Sudan.
