#Entertainment: Lil Kesh’s ‘Shoki’ Not Banned – NBC Responds... - ITSALLISAY

Following reports that Lil Kesh‘s song, Shoki has been banned by the NigerianBroadcasting Corporation(NBC), the NBC has responded through its official twitter account that the song has not been banned.

The broadcast regulator however said a radio station was sanctioned for playing a club version of the song during the ‘Family Time’ belt, when children have access to TV and radio.

The NBC statement goes thus:

‘We at the National Broadcasting Commission can confirm there was no such ban. A club version of the song cannot be played on radio. The club version contains vulgar lyrics, which was played around 9am, which is considered as ‘family time’.

There is a broadcast code to follow by every broadcast station and this station failed to comply. This said station has been sanctioned for playing a club version during family time. We at the NBC did not ban ‘Shoki’- by Lil Kesh. We simply asked the suitable broadcast version to be played on the radio.’
