A religious TV station in Senegal has filed a complaint with the authorities against an unidentified saboteur for the ‘satanic trick’ over airing pornography instead of its regular religious programmes.
Viewers tuning into Touba TV on Monday afternoon were left stunned when hardcore pornography was aired 1:10pm to 1:30pm.
Touba TV in a statement on Wednesday called the broadcasting blunder a ‘criminal act’ and said the formal complaint will make it possible to identify the ‘authors who have an unknown agenda.’
‘As a religious channel, the management of Touba TV and all our audience members are outraged and unreservedly condemn this criminal act which seems to be sabotage and a satanic trick designed to undermine a channel which is known to stand for Islamic values and teachings,’ Touba TV management said.
The privately run station usually broadcasts religious programs advocating Islamic values and teachings, including sermons and prayers.
