Despite video evidence to the contrary, the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has denied announcing an increment in the fine for hate speech from N500,000 to N5m.

Mohammed, who on August 5, 2020, announced the decision of the National Broadcasting Commission to increase the fine for hate speech, stated on oath that he did not do so.

The minister said this in a counter-affidavit in response to an originating motion filed before a Federal High Court in Lagos by human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong.

Effiong is challenging the imposition of N5m fine on Nigeria Info 99.3FM, Lagos, and the threat by the National Broadcasting Commission to punish other broadcast stations in the country over alleged hate speech.

In an affidavit deposed to by a Litigation Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, Sunday Ojobo, the minister stated that he never announced the fine.


The affidavit further read, “Paragraph 19 is denied. The 2nd defendant (Mohammed) did not announce an increment in any fine for hate speech from N500,000 to N5,000,000 or any other because there is a governmental body or institution mandated to regulate and enforce the Nigerian Broadcasting Code.”


The minister stated that the constitution allowed human rights to be suspended for the sake of national interest.

Mohammed further stated that the NBC Act gave the commission the power to sanction stations that contravene its code.

the guy above me doesn't understand politics. Lai as well others around Buhari are just the fall guys. You think they don't know they look stupid for most of their utterances?? But the goal is to protect their principal. In 48 laws of power its called making use of "Cats Paws"

That's why some Zombies still see Buhari as a good man surrounded by bad people, but the action of every one around a leader always reflects the leaders own.

so how can he fire him??

Only those who don't know the value of their parents will insult Lai Muhammad. Those abusive, dangerous children who kick and beat their parents. People who don't respect their elders or show compassion amongst them. Ungreatful people

Lai Mohammed.The legendary liar! Abeg which constitution? Perhaps it is another "national security supersedes the rule of law" nonsense. Human rights is sacrosanct universally. He is telling lies as usual.

This is how Lai Mohammed was interviewed by a foreign new media wherein he denied the hate speech/social media regulation bills being deliberated by the NASS. Now he is denying again.This is what it means to recant Shameless old man.

Buhari left that post for Yorubas since they are educated and can spin stories and make it go viral.

Does it warrant a parent to lie to his kid, I thought the holy book frown at such?

Who cares? Even if he said so, hate speech can't be eradicated as long APC continues with their bad governance.
