The Bible Society of Nigeria, BSN, yesterday raised the alarm over what it described as the influx of pirated copies of the Holy Bible into the Nigerian markets.

The body, which has the patent for re-producing the Bible and translating the holy book into different Nigerian languages, noted that pirated copies of different versions of the Holy Bible are now on sale across the country.

Outgoing General Secretary/Chief Executive Officer of the Society and Chairman of the United Bible Societies in Africa, Rev. (Dr.) Fredrick Odutola, raised the alarm during a press conference on the ‘state of the nation’, at the Bible Guest House, in Lagos.

He disclosed that large quantities of its quality guaranteed Bible, translated with huge sums of money into the various Nigerian languages are now being heavily pirated in different markets in the country “and without the fear of God to the dire consequences.

“Recently, someone brought a defective Efik Bible to us to replace since we have quality guarantee and it was a pirated copy, bearing our logo all the same, in Ariaria Market, Aba.”

Displaying different versions of the pirated copies of the Holy book recovered from the Nigerian markets, the BSN Chief Executive revealed further in bewilderment: “Even the policemen said they were afraid to enter this market (Ariaria). So it has become an institution on its own.
