- In Kaduna you cannot preach without license
- Every preacher will have to go and get ONLY one
year license (renewable every year). That is, you
must always preach without an expired license or you risk 2 years imprisonment. -
If you invite any external preacher (i.e. preacher
outside kaduna state), such a person must be
licensed for the duration of his/her stay and the
body issuing the license has the right to reject
external preacher they feel is not qualify to preach in Kaduna state. -
Every preacher who want to be licensed will
appear before a screening committee. If he/she
scales through, he/she will only be given licensed
for one year. -
The law criminalizes the use of CDS, Flash Drive and other communication gadgets except in
religious building or inside your house. -
That means, you will be arrested for listening to
preaching or religious music inside your cars or in
any open place except in your house or religious
building. -
If you preach without license, you are guilty of
offense punishable with 2 years imprisonment or a
fine of 200,000.
You can’t use microphones/loudseakers in your
church after 8pm you are guilty of offense
punishable with 2 years’ imprisonment or a fine of 200,000.
- Since all preaching must be done within a
building, it means public evangelism will be
criminalized. Those who preach early morning,
known by some as morning cry and preaching
inside bus if arrested will be fined N200,000. -
This could also means, people will not be allowed
to go out for evangelism on streets or move with
vehicles with address systems to advertise their
programs.
