The Senate under the leadership of Ahmed Lawan has been criticised over the hate speech bill sponsored by Senator Sabi Abdullahi.

Senator Sabi Abdullahi representing Niger North Senatorial district, on Tuesday sponsored a private bill to tackle hate speeches and other social media related contents, considered antagonistic to the interest of Nigerian society.

Omokri, reacting, warned the Senate against passing the anti-hate speech bill.

According to him, this law, if passed, will one day come back to haunt them.

On his Twitter page he wrote that they haven’t passed laws to hang killer herdsmen, they haven’t passed laws to hang Boko Haramist, they haven’t passed laws to hang corrupt politicians but they want to pass a Bill to hang you for FREE SPEECH!
