The National Assembly has been urged by Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) to assist the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC) in addressing what it dubbed “nudity” on the well-known BBNaija reality program.
NCAC has been outspoken in its criticism of the BBNaija show and has often called for legislative action.
In a statement, MURIC urged lawmakers to give NCAC more authority so that it can put an end to the “nudity” on the program.
The Islamic Rights Society declared its support for Segun Runsewe, director-general of the NCAC, in his calls.
“MURIC supports Runsewe’s call and we see no reason why the NASS will hesitate to give him all necessary backing. BBNaija’s reality TV show is the devil incarnate misleading Nigerian youth,” the group said.
“BBNaija is forcibly dragging our youths to a world of nudity, debauchery, and shamelessness. BBNaija constitutes a potent threat to every home. It is open rape of our cultures, values, and norms. BBNaija is luciferous.
“The NASS will have its name indelibly carved in letters of gold if it hearkens to the plea made by Runsewe.
“His appeal has revealed the weakness in our legal system. It has revealed that there are no extant laws powerful enough to stop romance and sex on our television channels. The time to give the law the teeth to bite is now.”
