Mallam El-Rufai places strong restrictions on Christianity in Kaduna

​The Kaduna state governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, had issued laws that will place embargo on Christianity in Kaduna state.

Here is the outline of the new anti-christian laws:

- In Kaduna you cannot preach without license. If you must preach you must get license. The license is valid only for a year. Everyone that will continue to be a preacher must renew their license every year. 2 years imprisonment for violators of this law.

- Every preacher who want to be licensed will appear before a screening committee. If he/she scales through, he/she will only be given license for one year.

-Any preacher that is being invited from outside Kaduna

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.

- The law also forbid the use of CDs, cassette, Flash drive and other materials which can be used to store messages.

-preaching or listening to Christian messages or music inside your cars or in any open place except in your house or religious building is not allowed.

- whoever preaches in Kaduna without license is guilty of offense punishable with 2 years imprisonment or a fine of 200,000.

- The use of microphone and loud speakers is restricted to 8pm. Violators 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 publicize their programs.

**A careful look at these new laws shows that they are aimed at reducing the growth of Christianity in Kaduna. They are wired together so that God's men can be taken as offenders and dragged to prison. God cannot be mocked. Who is he that speaks when the Lord hasn't spoken? Every plan to islamize Nigeria will not hold as the Lord lives.
