Death Penalty Will Be Amended, Says Sponsor Of 'Hate Speech Bill' by joshcaleb200(op): 5:36pm On Nov 24, 2019
The sponsor of the very controversial 'hate speech' bill has said the death penalty part will be amended.

According to TheCable, Aliyu Abdullahi, sponsor of the bill seeking to check hate speech, says the death penalty aspect will be amended in line with the wish of Nigerians.

Abdullahi said this in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday.

He said the bill will undergo some fine-tuning to reflect the views of Nigerians.

He added that the senate will accept contributions and input by critics and supporters of the bill, saying such will go a long way in giving Nigerians the law to address the disturbing trend of hate speech.

Better.

Those who hide online to spew hate and lies, there will be no escape. 6 months to 1 year will do the trick.

That bill should be SCRAPPED TOTALLY and be replaced with death sentence for corrupt politicians!!!

In a developed country, the members of his community would have visited the sponsor of that bill with lighter, kerosene and if possible add fuel grin grin grin grin

We are too lenient with these thieves cum wicked leaders!

No wonder he has the gut to say another rubbish
