So the defamed can't defend himself? Why should a third party (the court) help him fight his fight? And what happened to the freedom of speech?


That above sounds foolish, right? This is exactly how Christians especially sound when they question why Muslims are angry over someone defaming the Prophet of Islam or other symbols of the religion.

Just like the court will intervene as the custodians of the professor's human rights of decency, so will the body of Islamic faithfuls intervene as the custodians of the customs and traditions of their Noble Prophet. The only clause being that individual adherents are not supposed to take laws into their hands, but rather refer to the Shari'a courts.

Freedom of expression should not be abused.
Well said brother.

You don't fight for your god if he's actually alive as you claim. You people are the cause of violence everywhere in the world. You can't be preaching peace without tolerance. It's hypocrisy

I initially thought your former Uni was located in Tanzania until you clarified.

Never heard of Tansian Uni until now... Nice name though.

The punishment for online defamation in this case isn't stiff enough, and the option of fine is too low and will not help to curb extremely criminal cases of online defamation and deliberate spread of misinformation online and offline. Period.

I completely agree with you here bruv.

Even the members of the Japanese parliament as of 2022 have introduced tougher jail times and higher monetary fines for cyber bullying due to the death of a famous female Japanese actress.

Ask yourself first.
Do they practise such a wicked and corrupt system of democracy as you have assumed to be the norm in Nigeria?

Maybe for some critics. But many do not even want the Muslim faithfuls taking offence at all.
