Hate Speech: Islamic group declares position on death penalty - Daily Post Nigeria

The Nigerian Senate on Tuesday, 12th November, 2019, reintroduced a bill that seeks to punish authors of hate speech.

“The evil perpetrated by merchants of hate speech is tremendous. Only confusionists will ignore the enormity of hate speech. “That is why we agree with Senate that not all hate speeches should attract the maximum sentence of death. Some will only attract jail terms just to serve as deterrent. “Those opposing the hate speech bill do not wish Nigeria well. Neither are they being sincere. They are speaking with their tongues in their cheeks. How can anyone extenuate the evil committed by those who told the whole world that President Buhari had died during his illness?

” Some do it with the intention of causing chaos. The idea is to unleash a diabolical plan in the midst of the confusion. Such people should no longer be allowed to go scot free. “Or how do we just ignore those who make inflammatory statements and incite Nigerians to kill and maim themselves while they recoil to the safety of their posh environments after causing the death of many?
