The Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, yesterday, raised a strong objection to plans by the Borno State government to adopt Sharia legal system in the state, giving in to demands by Boko Haram group, which it called a terrorist group.<\/p>\n

NBA which condemned the group (Boko Haram) for the killings and maiming of innocent citizens and attacks on places of worship in Borno State, called on the Federal and State Governments to overhaul their security apparatus\u00a0 to combat the attacks by the group, which it noted could hamper economic growth and scare away internal and external investment.<\/p>\n

Mr Joseph Daudu, SAN, NBA President in a communiqu\u00e9 after the association\u2019s National Executive, NEC, meeting in Abuja, said \u201cwe condemned all acts of terrorism within the country. We recognise that terrorist groups and acts are thriving in various parts of Nigeria as a result of security lapses.<\/p>\n

It was, therefore resolved that government should overhaul its security apparatus in order to combat this menace which hampers economic growth and scares away internal and external investment. This overhaul should include seeking expert assistance from our foreign allies who have had positive and encouraging results in their own fight against terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n

Further he said, \u201cwe condemn the actions and proposals of the Governor of Borno State by acceding to one of the demands of the faceless terrorists which is, to implement the Sharia Legal System in Borno State. It is a standard worldwide practice not to give in to demands made by Kidnappers or terrorists as that will only encourage and validate the use of violence, force and or other illegal means to achieve illegitimate goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether or not Borno State adopts any legal system that is approved by the 1999 constitution is within the exclusive preserve of the people of Borno State acting through their representatives in the Borno State House of Assembly.<\/p>\n

Democracy as a system of government, applied without corrupt tendencies, is an admirable and beneficial system of governance,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
