Nigeria Police Arrest Acclaimed Atheist, Mubarak Bala, For Alleged Blasphemy by MoIbrahim: 11:28am On Apr 29, 2020
The Kaduna State command of the Nigeria Police on Tuesday arrested Mubarak Bala, a self-acclaimed atheist, for allegedly insulting the Prophet of Islam on Facebook.

Mr. Bala, said to be the president of the Humanist Association of Nigeria, is being detained at the Gabasawa Police station in Kaduna after his Tuesday arrest for alleged blasphemy.



His arrest was precipitated by a petition written by a group of lawyers in Kano and sent to the Kano State police commissioner on Monday (April 27, 2020) accusing Bala of blasphemy and categorically demanding that he is prosecuted and brought to justice.

In the petition, a copy of which Judicial Sketch obtained, the group said Bala abandoned Islam for Atheism in 2014 and has since then been writing things on his Facebook page that are very provocative and annoying to the sensibility of Islam and Muslims.

The petitioners said Bala’s latest attack on the Islam and its prophet was on the 25th day of April 2020, where he wrote, “There is no difference between Prophet T.B. Joshua of Lagos and Prophet Muhammad of Saudi Arabia. Our own in Nigerian is even better in that he is not a terrorist”.

There is salvation only in Jesus
Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Why cant they allow Mohammed to deal with him as Christians do when Christ is insulted? Or is Mohammed powerless?

Why cant they allow Mohammed to deal with him as Christians do when Christ is insulted? Or are they saying that Mohammed is incapable of avenging his name
