NCA, NMC Name And Shame 12 TV Stations Broadcasting Fake Lottery, Occultism

The National Media Commission (NMC) and the National Communications Authority (NCA) have fished out 12 media houses for broadcasting unethical and unlawful content on Ghanaian airwaves.

In the latter half of November 2023, there was a notable surge of 64.7% in reported cases of unethical and unlawful content on Ghanaian airwaves.

This is according to a joint report issued by the two bodies. This percentage increase surpassed the figures reported in the first-fortnight report released on November 16, 2023.

“In the specific categories of unlawful and unethical content, fake lottery increased six-fold (676%) while occultism doubled (105 %),” a joint statement by Executive Secretary for the NMC, George Sarpong, read.

On the contrary, money doubling decreased by 23% while money rituals decreased by 16%.
