The Prohibition of Hate Speech Bill is being supported by Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, who was chosen on the foundation of the decision All Progressives Congress.
The extremely broad bill covers a bunch of potential bad behaviors, including the distribution or introduction of materials considered to work up ethnic disdain.
The Bill likewise trains in on composed or visual acts seen as undermining, oppressive, annoying or hostile.
It suggests that any individual who submits an offense of the sort portrayed could be imprisoned forever; and if the activities are found to have caused death toll, the discipline can be passing by hanging.
Taking to his confirmed Twitter handle @realFFK on Monday evening, Fani-Kayode said he would bolster the Hate Speech Bill if its arrangements are made retroactive and if its first unfortunate casualties are President Muhammadu Buhari, APC National Leader Bola Tinubu, Information Minister Lai Mohammed, and others he likewise referenced.
He needed a guarantee that the general population figures he referenced would be the primary arrangement of individuals to be hanged "for their scornful words throughout the years," after which he would bolster the bill.
Get the job done to say, the provision suggesting capital punishment has, in any case, been pulled back by the bill's support.
