A Nigerian prophet, Johnson Suleiman, has warned Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, to stop his plans to pass a law which seeks to licence preaching or face death.
The prophet who boasted to have prophesied the death of Abubakar Audu (APC governorship candidate in Kogi State), said if el-Rufai did not stop the bill, he and his commissioners would die one after the other.
El-Rufai had recently initiated a bill known as the Religious Regulation Bill which is geared towards regulating Christianity and Islam. According to the bill, if you preach without a license, you are guilty of an offence punishable by two years imprisonment. If you hold any Christian gathering even in a church and use loud speaker (microphone) after 8.00 p.m, you are guilty of an offence punishable with two years imprisonment. If you hold a crusade or any programme or any other kind of programme and use a loudspeaker at the said programme as long as it is not a church, you are guilty of an offence punishable by two years imprisonment.
