In a statement posted online, the Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC expressed concern about reports that Big Brother Naija was pressuring young people to engage in nvdity.
The Islamic Rights group, which had previously called for the reality show to be subject to regulatory measures, called it a “devil incarnate misleading Nigerian youths” and urged the national assembly to support the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC) in its efforts to address nvdity on the program.
Across support of Segun Runsewe, the director-general of the NCAC, who has called for the authority to punish BBNaija and cross-dressers in the nation, MURIC made the appeal.
The statement released reads,
“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 D£vil incarnate misleading Nigerian youth,” the group said.
“BBNaija is forcibly dragging our youths to a world of nvd!ty, 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 s*x on our television channels. The time to give the law the teeth to bite is now.”
