BBNaija Ban: NBC denies stopping the show
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has denied the suspension of ongoing Big Brother Naija, following reports on social media on Friday that the Minister of Information and Cultural Orientation, Alhaji Lai Mohammed had directed the management to stop the broadcast of the show in the country.

But speaking with Daily Trust on Saturday night, the NBC Acting Director General, Dr Armstrong Idachaba said it was not true that BB Naija had been suspended.

Dr Idachaba dissociated the NBC from the report and urged Nigerians to disregard it.

Yesterday, the Minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed reportedly asked the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to stop airing Big Brother Naija (BBNaija).

According to TheCable, the acting director-general of the NBC, Armstrong Idachaba, told senior management members that he had been directed by Lai Mohammed to shut down the BBNaija show due to possible spread of COVID-19 among housemates.

The minister had reportedly sent a letter to NBC on July 1, 2020 before the BBNaija show began. His move to shut down the show is believed to be because of the general opinion that he is bent on sending MultiChoice Ltd, producers of the show, out of Nigeria.

Mohammed is believed to have launched political moves against MultiChoice in order to pave the way for his main consultant to make a return to Pay TV after previously failing.
