EL-RUFAI NEW LAWS
* In Kaduna you cannot preach without license
* 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 microphones/loudseakers 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.
