A bill that seeks the prosecution
of people who engage in hate speech is underway.
This was confirmed by the
Minister of Interior, Lieutenant General Abdulrahman Dambazau (rtd), at the
National Secretariat of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) while
fielding questions from journalists on Thursday.
The Minister revealed that a
draft bill had been submitted to the Ministry of Justice.
Asked to explain the reasons why
it was difficult to prosecute those perpetrating hate speech, Dambazau said,
“We just submitted a draft bill to the ministry of justice on hate speech.
That draft bill will go as an
executive bill, after getting to the Attorney General of the Federation and
Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.
That draft bill contains the laws
and punishment for hate speech.
“Hate speech should not be
allowed in this country, everybody is entitled to belong to the religion he
believes in.
“I mean people don’t choose the
tribe to be, that’s how God brought him and there is absolutely no reason for
hate speech.
“So, if the national assembly
passes that law, certainly anybody who is engaged in hate speech will be
prosecuted in accordance with the law,” he added.
Then tell me the the meaning of 'dog and baboo' will soak in the blood.
