The founder of Liberation City, Pastor Chris Okafor, has warned Kaduna State Governor, Nasiru el-Rufai to withdraw a bill before the state House of Assembly aimed at licensing religious bodies or be ready to face the wrath of God
In a video that is trending on his wall, the preacher gave governor el-Rufai seven days to reverse the bill at the state House of Assembly to license religious bodies or would be visited by God.
He described the governor as Herod, who cannot withstand the wrath of God.
The bill proposes that any person found guilty of preaching without a valid licence and other offences under the law “shall be liable to two years in prison or pay a fine of N200, 000.”
Under the new edict, the government seeks to create an inter-faith Ministerial Committee to be appointed by the governor which will exercise control over Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).
The bill ensures that the ministerial committee shall issue licenses to religious bodies without which the body cannot preach. It also stipulates that no external preacher can preach in Kaduna without a permit.
