ABUJA NIGERIA: Northern Forum Kicks Against Ban On B’Haram, Ansaru!

The North on Wednesday disagreed with the National Assembly on the proscription of two Islamic miltant groups Boko Haram and Ansaru–by President Goodluck Jonathan.

While the North through its two prominent groups, the Arewa Consultative Forum and the Northern Elders Forum, faulted the ban, the National Assembly insisted that it was a welcome development.

Boko Haram - meaning Western education is banned - has been blamed for a number of attacks across northern Nigeria, which have left at least 3,000 dead since 2010.
