Following the recent arrest of the proprietor of Crime Alert for allegedly scamming people of about N128 million, the National Broadcasting Corporation has banned money-making adverts on radio stations in Ibadan.
Crime Alert, OYOINSIGHT recalls, was able to ‘dupe’ many residents because of the wide publicity and coverage provided to it by radio stations in the city.
In a letter from NBC to the chief executive officer of all radio stations in Ibadan sighted by this newspaper, it described the recent occurence as worrisome and concerning.
