Christians banned from preaching in Kaduna State

Nasir El-Rufaiu
Kaduna state governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai have issued laws that will control and in effect ban church worshiping and evangelism in Kaduna state. Read below, some of the contents of the anti-Christian laws;
- In Kaduna, you cannot preach without license

- Every preacher will have to get a one year license (renewable every year) else you risk 2 years imprisonment.

- If you invite an 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 desires 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, 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 a license, you are guilty of an offense punishable; 2 years imprisonment or a fine of 200,000.

- You can’t use a microphone in your church after 8 pm you are guilty of an offense punishable; 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 in the morning, known by some as morning cry and preaching inside bus if arrested will be fined N200,000.

- This could also mean, people will not be allowed to go out for evangelism on streets or move with vehicles with address systems to advertise their programs.
