The Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters commenced the public hearing of the ‘Social Media Bill’ on Monday, having passed first and second readings.
Over 20 institutions and groups that appeared at the public hearing, asked the lawmakers to trash the legislation even as many said Nigeria has existing laws that could cover the provision of the bill. “Internet falsehoods can undermine military leadership, lower troops morale, hurt the image of the image of the service and even harm personnel safety and that of their families.
He said they support the bill but that section that will affect the right of Nigerians should be look into. He did not elaborate.On his part, the Director of Administration at the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs , Yusuf Chinedozi Nwoha, said the bill “that seeks to criminalise the issue of internet falsehood is supported by Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs”.
In the same vein, the support of the NSCIA can be justified by the fact that internet falsehood sometimes creates chaos and confusion which leads to religious arguments and condemnation on social media.
