A Kano State High Court sitting at Audu Bako has, on Tuesday, sentenced a self-proclaimed atheist, Mubarak Bala, to 24 years imprisonment for blasphemy.

Bala, who is the president of the Humanist Association of Nigeria, went viral in 2020 following his arrest in Kaduna for blasphemy against Allah and Prophet Muhammad and had been in a correctional facility for about two years.

Bala pleaded guilty to committing blasphemy, saying that his Facebook posts were not meant to cause violence but he would take caution henceforth not to repeat it. The court reminded him of his right to religion but warned that where his right stopped, that of others started, and added that there were many people with Bala’s ideology but they did go about insulting other people’s religion.He was charged with an 18-count charge and sentenced by Justice Faruk Lawan to 24 years imprisonment.All rights reserved.

Where is it in d Nig Constitution that you can't choose how and who you worship? By the way, people say bad things about Christianity; they even kill Christians up North, but I haven't seen anyone sent to jail for that! What did they do to d killers of d Christian lady in Abuja!

Useless state, mumu leaders, mumu religion

Devastation and blow in our fight against religious extremist .the middle east imperialism agenda is to make the north a breeding ground for creating militants

This is not the solution at all.

The punishment is beyond that, it's death penalty.
