Categorisation of IPOB As A Terrorist Organisation Is Unconstitutional – Saraki

-



Senate President Bukola Saraki on Monday faulted the declaration by the Nigerian military that the Indigenous People of Biafra is a terrorist organisation and the ban placed on the group’s activities by South-East Governors, saying due process was not followed.

“The announcement of the proscription of the group known as Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) by Governors of the South-east states and the categorisation of the group as a ‘terrorist organisation’ by the Nigerian military are unconstitutional and does not follow due process,” Saraki said in a statement on Monday.

“Our laws make clear provisions for taking such actions and without the due process being followed, such declaration cannot have effect. I am sure the President will do the needful by initiating the right process.” The Senate President believes that “initiating the right process” will go a long way in demonstrating to the world at large that Nigeria “is a country that operates by laid down process under every circumstance”.

Scientists just discovered the first brainless animal that sleeps

Snoozing jellyfish have confirmed that a brain is not necessary for sleep. Scientists made the discovery after observing a primitive jellyfish called Cassiopea that lives upside down on the sea floor and lacks any kind of central nervous system. The creatures, which resemble miniature cauliflower heads, have bodies that pulse with a steady rhythm. Videos of the jellyfish taken over 24 hours showed that they pulsed less frequently at night, but they could be “woken up” by dropping a little food into the tanks where they were kept. “It’s the first example of sleep in animals without a brain,” said US researcher Professor Paul Sternberg from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). He compared the effect of the food to that of smelling coffee in the morning. A second sign of sleep was seen when the jellyfish were physically disturbed during their low-activity periods, forcing them to float in open water. At night it took them three times longer to ...
