Bull’s Eye, a popular program on
Splash FM 105.5 has been recently banned by NBC (Nigeria Broadcasting Corporation).
This program which is usually held on Monday(s) fail to start on the 9th
of June as radio listeners in the south west region were eagerly expecting.
This ran shock on fans of the host of the program – Edmund Obilo- for he is
loved by many for the passion he has and his durability into political investigation.
At first, a rumour went round that
Edmund Obilo was sacked perhaps leading to the program held off air. But recent
investigations came in when the host invited a member of the house of assembly
of Oyo State for as usual discussion, during the discussion, a noteworthy statement
from the visiting member said in part “That the Alaafin of Oyo, the ruling royal
dynasty in the present state is a criminal and has well engaged in several political
misconduct, theft, undisclosed fraud and host of defrauding activities” While
the statement was confirmed true by this member of the house of assembly of Oyo
state, it was established that the host should be blamed for the “folly”.
While the recording of the discussion
has not yet being disclosed, we hope that we get you more findings about this
matter and never fail to provide it in detail.
What is more, do you really think the
royal dynasty is really in involved in the aforementioned scandals? Did he initiate
the NBC to close the program for a while? If he is not guilty, would he thought
of going to such great length?
Only time will tell before truth will
be established, for lies will always remain only for a moment, but truth will remain
forever. Lovers of truth will never fail to uphold it.
See Splash 105.5 recent statement to the public
“We would like to thank our listeners
for the support concerning the recent rumours that have been circulating.
We would first of all like to assure
you that Edmund Obilo has NOT been sacked.
Due to the sensitivity of the matter
touched on during the last edition of Bull’s Eye, the NBC has decided to
conduct an investigation according to Section 0.2.1 of the Nigerian
broadcasting code;
“Please note that the cardinal role
of broadcasting to inform, educate and entertain shall not be at the expense of
national interest, unity and cohesion. Therefore, no broadcast shall
intentionally encourage or incite to crime, lead to public disorder, be
repugnant to public feeling or contain an offensive reference to any person,
alive or dead, or generally, be disrespectful to human dignity”
Pending the outcome of the ongoing
investigation, the NBC has decided the programme Bulls Eye will be put on hold.
We thank you for your patience while
the NBC conducts investigations and ask for your continued support.”
