The banning of Christians from preaching in Kaduna, Only a part of Buhari’s Islamisation agenda in Nigeria
Governor El-Rufai like President Buhari are alleged to be well known
Islamist fundamentalist, will use these new laws to minimise the growth
of Christianity sending some Pastors to Prison and in effect driving
Pastors, Evangelists away from the state and ensuring the dominance of
the Islamic faith.
In 2003, President Buhari was alleged to have boasted that it is Allah’s
will for him to ensure that Islam is spreed to all corners of Nigeria.
As it stands now, Hope For Nigeria is sure that the opportunity to
Islamize Nigeria have presented itself as Buhari is now the Nigerians
President and Mallam El-Rufai, a renowned hate preacher is a governor of
kaduna state in Nigeria.
As it is a normal practice in Nigeria, if governmentts want to
destroy Christians with laws, they will draft it by mentioning Islam as a
cover or to deceive the people.
In line with the Islamisation agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari’s
in Nigeria, the Kaduna state governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai have issued
laws that will control and in effect ban church worshiping and
evangelisation in Kaduna state.
Now In Kaduna you cannot preach without license else you will be jailed
– Every preacher will have to go and get ONLY one year license
(renewable every year). That is, you must always preach without an
expired license or you risk 2 years imprisonment.
– If you invite any external preacher (i.e. preacher outside Kaduna
state), such a person must be licensed for the duration of his/her stay
and the body issuing the license has the right to reject external
preacher they feel is not qualify to preach in Kaduna state.
– Every preacher who want to be licensed will appear before a
screening committee. If he/she scales through, he/she will only be given
licensed for one year.
– The law criminalizes the use of CDS, Flash Drive and other
communication gadgets except in religious building or inside your house.
– That means, you will be arrested for listening to preaching or
religious music inside your cars or in any open place except in your
house or religious building.
– If you preach without license, you are guilty of offense punishable with 2 years imprisonment or a fine of 200,000.
– You can’t use microphone in your church after 8pm you are guilty of
offense punishable with 2 years’ imprisonment or a fine of 200,000.
– Since all preaching must be done within a building, it means public
evangelism will be criminalized. Those who preach early morning, known
by some as morning cry and preaching inside bus if arrested will be
fined N200,000.
– This could also means, people will not be allowed to go out for
evangelism on streets or move with vehicles with address systems to
advertise their programs.
About 9 states in Nigeria assumed the status of Islamic state in a
secular country and governed by Islamic law and in most cases,
Christians are tried in these courts.
