“I cannot tell you about where he is but he has been arrested.” MubarakBala Blasphemy Kaduna NigeriaPolice Islam
Beyond Kaduna State, northern Nigeria, where the supposed ‘crime’ was committed, there has been an outrage over the arrest of Mubarak Bala, a man who allegedly blasphemed against Islam.
Spokesman to Kaduna State police Mohammed Jalige in a phone conversation with our correspondent said he “can confirm to you that he has been arrested and he is in police custody.”Leo Igwe, the chairman of the board of trustees for the Humanist Association of Nigeria, an NGO where Mubarak serves as president, expressed worries over his safety.
“There’s no difference between prophet TB Joshua of Lagos and Muhammadu of Saudi Arabia, it is better for our Nigeria to be terrorism,” Bala said wrote on his Facebook page. Days later, a group of lawyers petitioned the Kano State Police command to prosecute Bala for insulting Prophet Muhammad.who asked Facebook to close down the account of Mubarak Bala. The petition seemed to have been deleted on Thursday evening when The Guardian checked.for his release was launched on the same platform on Wednesday by the International Association of Atheists Inc. The association is also using the petition to raise legal funds for Bala.
In one of his Facebook posts, Bala said he is “Flooded by inquiries on how to join our humanist movement.“Whoever believes religion has been duped If you cant take blasphemy against Islam, criticizism of its doctrines, this page is not for you,” Bala said.
