The Counter Subversion Bill 2024, currently being pushed by the House of Representatives, aims to impose penalties on Nigerians for actions deemed as subversive to the state.
While the specific details of the bill may still be under discussion, such legislation generally targets activities that are perceived as threats to national security, stability, or public order.
Penalties under this bill could potentially include fines, imprisonment, or other legal consequences for those found guilty of engaging in, supporting, or promoting subversive acts.
Some of the Subversive activities include:
If you insult any politician or undermine the government you shall get a 10-year prison term , N5m fine or both.
If you refuse to sing the National Anthem, 10 years in prison, N5m fine or both.
If you protest or set up an illegal roadblock, or perform unauthorised traffic duties, impose an illegal curfew, or organize an “unlawful” procession, you will be subjected to 5 years in prison with N2m fine or both upon conviction.
