A religious based group, The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), has condemned Big Brother Naija’s reality TV show saying it is a tool for misleading the Nigerian youths due to its content.
MURIC says it supports calls by Chief Segun Runsewe for the National Assembly (NASS) to give the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC) powers to go after BBNaija for the purpose of stopping nudity.

This is contained in a statement by Group Director, MURIC, Prof. Ishaq Akintola on Sunday in Abuja.
MURIC says it sees no reason why the National.assembly will hesitate to give him all necessary backings.
“Big Brother Naija’s reality TV show is the devil incarnate misleading Nigerian youths”.
“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”
