Mathew Hassan Kukah, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, has stated that he is not frightened of death.
Bishop Kukah was asked if he ever worries for his safety during an appearance on Channels Television on Wednesday night.
The only thing the respected clergyman fears is disobeying the law, he added.
Kukah, who has frequently criticized the present administration’s actions, said another concern he has is that Nigeria may collapse due to the current economic and security crisis.
He stated that he has never awoken in fear of death, and that he simply tells the authorities the truth and never abuses them.

“When people talk about fear, I ask myself, ‘fear of what?’ I mean, truly, fear of what? The only thing I’m afraid of is to break the law and I live with it everyday.
“The only thing that can give a sense of fear is that I’ve broken the law. Short of breaking the law, I’ll fear a human being or fear what? I’ve not abused anybody. Even my worst critics will concede that I’ve never insulted anybody.
“When people talk to me about fear I don’t know what they’re talking about because to me the only fear I have is that this country may go under and that fear is genuine. But we must do everything humanly possible to avert what is clearly a looming disaster,” he warned.
