Hate Speech offenders to ‘die by hanging’ Bill resurfaces in Senate

A Bill to Establish a Commission for the Prohibition of Hate Speeches on Tuesday bounced back in the Senate.

The Bill titled, “National Commission for the Prohibition of Hate Speeches (Est, etc) Bill, 2019(SB.154) and sponsored by the Deputy Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, All Progressives Congress, APC, Niger North was read the first time at Plenary.

In line with the tradition of the Senate, the new bill was introduced by the Senate Leader, Senator Yahaya Abdullahi, APC, Kebbi North and affirmed by the Clerk of the Senate, Nelson Ayewor.

Recall that a similar Bill sponsored last year March by same Senator Abdullahi where the bill stated that any person found guilty of any form of hate speech that results in the death of another person shall die by hanging upon conviction.

Though the bill died on arrival, the Senator has reintroduced the same Bill today.

Recall that the former bill also sought the establishment of an ‘Independent National Commission for Hate Speeches’, which shall enforce hate speech laws across the country, ensure the elimination of the menace and advise the Federal Government. For offences such as harassment on the grounds of ethnicity or racial contempt, a culprit shall be sentenced to “not less than a five-year jail term or a fine of not less than N10 million or both.”

The bill noted that: “A person who uses, publishes, presents, produces, plays, provides, distributes and/or directs the performance of any material, written and/or visual, which is threatening, abusive or insulting or involves the use of threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, commits an offence, if such person intends thereby to stir up ethnic hatred, or having regard to all the circumstances, ethnic hatred is likely to be stirred up against any person or person from such an ethnic group in Nigeria.”

Rubbish talk bro

We want death sentence for looters in public office .....

Once a competent court finds one guilty of misappropriation of funds... Life ban from politics and possible death sentence..

That's only when Nigeria becomes interesting

A Good Leader Should Expect Hate Speech..

Indeed Zoogeria Is Etoile Du Sahel Which Means ......

Can someone please educate us. I think defamation of character is already part of the law. Even some people are using criminal defamation.

This is nothing short of surreptitious way to silence the Press and individuals by law makers that should be thrown into hell fire themselves for legalized and illegal looting.

If the choice is between abuse of freedom of speech and abuse of tresury? I stand for abuse of freedom of speech that can be prosecuted in a court of law civilly.

Ango Abdullahi, Junaid Muhammad and all those Northerners should take note.

By firing squad.

Misplaced priority..

So these people want to force me to love afonjas.
Never!
I'll rather hang.

Hate speech or looters ?

Nonsense people

Congratulations Nigerians, you did well in the last election. You guys said that you didn't want the Senate led by Saraki because he refused to banter with Buhari's cabal, he stood resolute for the best interest of Nigeria. Today you have elected a Senate that does exactly what you voted for. Congratulations again

Decree 4 is back

Everybody for naija go die

But those who are stealing public funds will be flown abroad and enjoy their loot or return 0.1% of the loot and walk free?

Hate speech or looters ?

I tire my brother

Audio bill
Na still the same lawmakers wey go blatantly flaunt the constitutional provisions and hide behind them to prosecute anybody that tries to call out their inadequacies....

Good lawd
When will thieving public office holders start dieing by hanging

What will now be left of PDP?

The Banana Republic

What happens to corrupt polithiefians and treasury looters

We all know that this bill is designed to silence any one that dares speak against this evil government

Animal Farm by George Orwell comes to mind

Indeed just as the Bible says, "when the wicked rules, the people mourn"

But wasn't the so-called wicked elected by people
Was it stones that voted for the wicked

Zombies see wetin una mumu don cause

the mourning hasn't even started yet. Wait till next year when they begin to unveil their more evil anti-people policies

Then corrupt politicians should also die by hanging if hate speech will die by hanging

How about treasury looters

Misplaced priorities.
Anyways, this can't go beyond the national Assembly for they know it will still come back to haunt them when they eventually become opposition again.

Damn!!! This country is doomed. Hate speech offenders to die by hanging but public office holders who loot the treasury can claim being sick and unable to stand trial.

Misplaced priorities. Everything is wrong with this evil administration.

Why can't they sentence corrupt politicians to death?


yeye dey smell

Die by hanging ke

Ok

They want to kill us all

ABI WEREY LAWON ELEYI NI

This news itself is hate speech.
