Government should make law to prohibit any act of blasphemy in Nigeria – Clerics

Via Daily Trust:

Daily Trust on Sunday gathered that during the governor’s (Aminu Waziri Tambuwal) meeting with the Chief Imams of Juma’at Mosques on Friday, the clerics unanimously advised the government to make a law at the national and state levels which would prohibit any act of blasphemy in the country.

One of the clerics privy to the meeting, said the clerics also suggested that the law should stipulate a capital punishment like death sentence for violators, saying this would discourage people from making blasphemous comments.

The clerics also advised that students admitted into tertiary institutions must write an undertaking to respect one another’s religion.
