00:01:34,840 –> 00:01:39,439
September fifteenth, twenty seventeen, outlawed the activities of the iPod

26
00:01:39,519 –> 00:01:45,000
in Nigeria. According to Vangland newspaper, the proscription order followed

27
00:01:45,040 –> 00:01:48,159
an ex party motion of the former Attorney General of

the group’s activities. The judge directed the AGF to ensure

34
00:02:15,759 –> 00:02:19,120
that he published the proscription order in the official gazette

35
00:02:19,520 –> 00:02:22,919

of the proscription order, which it said was surreptitiously obtained

39
00:02:34,520 –> 00:02:39,199

the affidelic evidence he tended before the court, maintaining that

48
00:03:15,159 –> 00:03:18,639
the proscription order was stantamount to the clearing over thirty
