Pastor Chris Okafor of Liberation City Church has given the Kaduna State Governor, Nasiru El-rufai a seven days ultimate.
The man of God is asking the governor to reverse a bill at the state House of Assembly to license religious bodies or be visited by the wrath of God.
According to the bill, any person found guilty of preaching without a valid license and other offences under the law “shall be liable to two years in prison or pay a fine of N200, 000.”
Under this new edict, the government seeks to create an inter-faith Ministerial Committee to be appointed by the governor which will exercise control over Jama’atu Nasril Islam, JNI, and the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN.
The bill ensures that the ministerial committee shall issue licenses to religious bodies without which the body cannot preach.
It also stipulates that no external preacher can preach in Kaduna without a permit.
