Religious bigotry is a scourge in Nigeria’s society. It unfairly targets individuals like TaniOlohun and communities based on their religious beliefs or practices. TaniOlohun is a traditional worshipper and a blogger. He was arrested in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital for allegedly burning the Quran and insulting Islamic clerics. He was kidnapped to Ilorin, the capital of Kwara State and remanded in custody.
Religious bigots, aided by political office holders and arrogant elite have for long been chipping away at Nigeria’s secularity. Despite its multi-ethnic and multi-religious colouration, Nigeria has failed to curb the excesses of religious bigots who infringe on religious and social freedoms.
