An All Progressives Congress (APC), lawmaker from Katsina State, Dalhatu Tafoki sponsored the motion which mandated the Commission to compel all internet service providers to block such contents with immediate effect.

While presenting the motion, Tafoki emphasised that cyber pornography is a growing global concern, noting that Nigeria has not done enough to tackle the issue.

According to Tafoki, Nigeria is a “highly religious country” where major faiths preach against and prohibit nudity and obscenity.

He also stated that several countries across Asia, Africa and the Middle East had enacted laws banning pornography, referencing warnings from psychologists and sociologists about the negative impact of pornography.

The lawmaker pointed out that pornography could cause adultery, prostitution and addiction.

“Renowned psychologists and sociologists around the world have issued stern warnings on the psychological, sociological and mental consequences of viewing pornographic content,” he said.

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas subjected the motion to a voice vote where the lawmakers voted in support of it.

The House directed the NCC to impose penalties on service providers that fail to comply with the directive.
