Any person found guilty of any
form of hate speech that results in the death of another person shall die by
hanging upon conviction, reads a new bill by the Senate.
According to Guardian, the bill,
which reflects the growing concern over the spate of violence in the nation,
was sponsored by the spokesman of the upper chamber, Senator Aliyu Sabi
Abdullahi (APC, Niger).
It also seeks the establishment
of an ‘Independent National Commission for Hate Speeches’, which shall enforce
hate speech laws across the country, ensure the elimination of the menace and
advise the FG.
For offences such as harassment
on the grounds of ethnicity or racial contempt, a culprit shall be sentenced to
“not less than a five-year jail term or a fine of not less than N10 million or
both.”
The bill notes: “A person who
uses, publishes, presents, produces, plays, provides, distributes and/or
directs the performance of any material, written and/or visual, which is
threatening, abusive or insulting or involves the use of threatening, abusive
or insulting words or behaviour, commits an offence, if such person intends
thereby to stir up ethnic hatred, or having regard to all the circumstances,
ethnic hatred is likely to be stirred up against any person or person from such
an ethnic group in Nigeria.”
It notes that “a person subjects
another to harassment on the basis of ethnicity for the purposes of this
section where, on ethnic grounds, he unjustifiably engages in a conduct which
has the purpose or effect of (a) violating that other person’s dignity or (b)
creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive
environment for the person subjected to the harassment.
Conduct shall be regarded as
having the effect specified in subsection (1) (a) or (b) of this section if,
having regard to all the circumstances, including in particular the perception
of that other person, it should reasonably be considered as having that
effect.”
