Priest of All Saints Anglican Church, Ernest Onuoha has called on the National Assembly to remove the proposed death penalty clause included in the hate speech bill before it.
Onuoha, who made the call at the 2019 General Harvest, in Abuja, at the All Saints Church, Anglican Communion, noted that such law would create more problems and cause many heads to roll.
According to him, life is sacred and every life belonged to God almighty, death penalty is not a solution to hate speech.
The cleric also urged Nigerians not to lose hope in the country and in the leadership as God is still in charge of Nigeria.
Also, the Bishop of Anglican Diocese of Kaduna, Reverend Yusuf Jafalan said that government should remove the death penalty clause in the hate speech bill because hate speech is directly or indirectly almost in everybody.
He also advised the government to think about state policing to address insecurity, adding that the people in every community know those terrorising them.
