A Senegalese Islamic channel shocked viewers with half an
hour of hardcore pornography in the middle of the day.
On Wednesday, the TV station management claimed that the act
was perpetrated by “criminals”.
Privately run Touba TV generally broadcasts religious
programs, including prayer sessions, sermons from prominent imams and in-depth
theological discussions.
But viewers were confused when regular transmissions were
interrupted with a hard porn movie. Some contacted the station to complain the
development.
Already, the West African country’s media watchdog, CNRA,
has demanded an explanation as it opened investigation.
“We have asked Touba TV how this unacceptable mistake could
happen for almost 30 minutes,” an official told Reuters.
In a statement, Touba TV denounced what it called “a
criminal act by people with a hidden agenda.”
It gave no further details on the criminals or how they got
access to its broadcasting unit.
