The Kaduna State government has cautioned residents of the state to desist from making statements that are capable of breaching the peace and unity of the state.
The warning was contained in a statement issued by Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s spokesman, Samuel Aruwan, at the end of the Kaduna State Security Council meeting on Tuesday.
The council vowed to punish anyone found fabricating allegations of religious blasphemy, either to seek sympathy or for any other reason, maintaining that such person would be prosecuted as prescribed in the Penal Code of the state and the Nigerian Constitution.
While reiterating the government’s commitment to protecting lives and property in the state, the council warned that appropriate sanction would be given any individual found inciting religious, ethnic or political violence or any form of civil disturbance in the state no matter his or her public standing.
It also reiterated that the law banning commercial motorcycles in the state was still in force, disclosing that law enforcement agencies had been directed to ensure compliance and prosecution of any offender.

US retail chain Walmart has apologised after baking a cake containing the flag of ISIS.
A spokesman for the company told ABC News that it was sorry for the error, which occurred after staff at a local store failed to recognise the image. “An associate in a local store did not know what the design meant and made a mistake.

In a video posted on YouTube that has picked up more than 450,000 views, Netzhammer is seen railing against the store for failing to honour his original order, and asking whether the company supports the armed group.
