Mubarak Bala, president of the Humanist Association of Nigeria, was not one to filter his words. On April 25, he logged on to Facebook again and typed a post calling the Prophet Muhammad a terrorist. Shortly afterwards, Mr. Bala, was arrested after lawyers in private practice in his conservative birthplace, the Muslim-majority city of Kano, complained about his Prophet Muhammad post to the police. Other nonbelievers are worried that these same lawyers are drawing up a list of other Nigerian atheists to be prosecuted and that more arrests may be coming. In violation of a June court ruling, he has not been allowed to see his lawyer. Mr. Bala is believed to be the first atheist arrested in Nigeria for blasphemy.
