The Senate has introduced a  bill which seeks to establish a  federal government agency to check hate speech in the country.

The bill, sponsored by a former Senate spokesperson, who is now the Deputy Senate Whip, Sabi Abdullahi,  passed first reading on the floor of the red chamber on Tuesday.

It is titled, “National Commission for the Prohibition of Hate Speeches (Earn, etc) Bill 2019.

A similar bill sponsored by Abdullahi in the 8th Senate prescribed among others, death by hanging for anyone found guilty of the offence.

iammo:
why do you seem scared? its a law that would be passed, and should you violate it you can argue your case in court ... so should we allow dingbats run loose, making incitefull comments like that of Shekau and Nnamdi kanu?

I'm not so good with laws and all but I think if someone says anything not dignifying your status, you could sue them for defamation of character. Abi I dey wrong?

you are very right, and if anyone says defamatory or incitefull thing against the whole country shouldnt we act? or should we wait till we have tutsis vs hutus rwanda genocide till we act.. defamation of character for individuals is right, and hate speech against tribe ,ethinicity or country is also right
