Kaduna Police Arrests Man For Insulting Prophet Mohammed

The Kaduna state police command has arrested an atheist, Mubarak Bala, for a facebook post in which he allegedly insulted Prophet Muhammad.

Bala’s arrest at his residence in Kaduna followed a petition by a group of lawyers to the commissioner of police in Kano state to prosecute him for his inciting comments.

Bala is expected to be prosecuted for blasphemy, a crime which contravenes the sharia penal code.

A search through Bala’s facebook page also shows him mocking Christian clerics, including the founder of the synagogue, Church of All Nations, TB Joshua.
