Nigerian govt to probe why Big Brother Naija moved to South Africa

Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the current Minister of Information and culture, has instructed the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to investigate the rumor surrounding the reported shooting in South Africa of the ongoing Big Brother Nigeria Reality Show.

In a report released in Abuja on Tuesday,

the Minister told NBC to investigate this claim if Multi-Choice has breached the Nigerian Broadcasting Code by shooting the show in a foreign country (South Africa).

Mohammed added that the commission should also look into the issue of possible deceit, since the viewing public was never told that the event would be staged outside Nigeria.

The minister therefore said as a country of laws, only the result of the investigation will define the next line of action the country takes on Multi Choice.

Alhaji Mohammed said “while concerned Nigerians have bombarded his office with calls to complain about what they regard as an anomaly (of shooting outside the country a show meant for Nigerians), they should remain calm while the NBC investigates the issue and submits its findings.”
