The National Council for Art and Culture (NCAA) has demanded that it should be empowered to sanction the organisers of the Big Brother Naija (BBN) reality TV show.
The call was made on Tuesday, October 4, by the Director General of the council, Segun Runsewe, during an investigative hearing by an ad hoc committee of the House of Representatives.
Runsewe also demanded that the House of Representatives empower it with the legal framework to also arrest and prosecute cross-dressers in the country like Bobrisky.

“I am the first person who took Big Brother Nigeria to the NBC to report them because they were having…I took it up and Big Brother (organisers) tried to reach me and I told them that if the culture in other parts of the world is to be naked – nudity, etc they should not bring it to Nigeria because our culture is rich and it respects the integrity of our country,” he said.
He also added during the investigative hearing that a legislative framework granted NCAA by the house will empower the agency to stop nudity and activities of crossdressers.
“I will give you an example. When Bobrisky started behaving like a woman, I rose and followed him to Lagos. I ‘scattered’ his (birthday) party and I told him, ‘This is not our culture.’ But at the end of the day, that is just Part 1. This honourable house just needs to empower us with just a legal framework and that nonsense will stop,” Runsewe added.
