Man arrested in Kaduna for calling Prophet Mohammed terrorist

A Nigerian atheist Mubarak Bala was arrested yesterday in his residence in Kaduna by men of Nigerian police for writing on Facebook that revered Islamic prophet Prophet Mohammed is a terrorist.

Bala’s arrest followed a petition by a group of lawyers to the Commissioner of Police in Kano State to prosecute him for insulting Prophet Muhammad on his Facebook page.

The petition signed by one S.S Umar reads, “We are submitting this complaint against one Mubarak Bala of Layin Massalaccin Bilai, Karkasara quarters, Kano.

“The said Mubarak was born and raised as a Muslim but for his own personal reason decided to leave Islam for atheism sometime in 2014 and has since then been writing articles on his Facebook page that are provocative and annoying to Muslims.”

Mubarak Bala will likely be handed over to the Kano State Police Command that will prosecute him for blasphemy, a crime that carries a death sentence under sharia law.

Just 5 years ago, then 29-year-old Bala was forcefully committed by his family to a psychiatric hospital in Kano when he renounced Islam.
The family believed he was insane and that was the reason after he renounced Islam.

He was later discharged from the psychiatric hospital after he was diagnosed to be sane and normal.
