The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed told newsmen in Abuja that the Federal Government is aware of the unprofessional documentary by the BBC, where interviews were granted to bandit warlords and terror gangs, thereby promoting terror in the country.
He condemned the BBC for not upholding the same standards and tenets as they would have done in the United Kingdom.
The minister also condemned Trust Tv, owned by Media Trust Limited for using its platform to grant interview to a bandit kingpin, Shehu Rekeb, which also promoted activities of terrorists.
Lai Mohammed said both platforms by their actions have become accomplices to terrorists and bandits in the name of reporting.
The minister said the appropriate regulatory body was already looking at the infractions and appropriate sanctions would be meted to both platforms.
