Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has given the only reason why Nigerians can accept the death by hanging as punishment for hate speech.
The punishment is contained in a bill seeking to establish an agency against hate speech. The bill which is currently drawing mixed reactions on social media has passed its first reading at the Senate.
Reacting to the bill, Reno Omokri stated that Nigerians can only accept it if it is backdated to hold President Buhari responsible for a statement he alleged made in the past.
He wrote:
“If @NGRSenate pass this DEATH by HANGING #AntiHateSpeechBill, the only way Nigerians should accept it is if they backdate it and start with General @MBuhari for his hate speech threatening that the “dog and baboon will be SOAKED IN BLOOD”!”
