CHANNELS TELEVISION TERMINATES PASTOR BAKARE'S TV SERMON, DESCRIBES THE SERMON AS VINDICTIVE AGAINST THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT

Channels television, on sunday abruptly cut off the one-hour TV sermon titled "Moment Of Truth" by the general overseer of the latter rain assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare. The programme was terminated after 45 minutes just as Pastor Bakare was making comments considered to be critical of the Nigerian government.

We had to hurriedly take the programme off air after he (Pastor Bakare) began spitting venom against the government and saying things we cannot defend, an official of the station who
preferred anonymity told Premium Times.

The official did not state what the comments were, but he insisted they were serious enough, that Channels could not afford to allow anyone to spread them through its station.

The General Manager of the station, Kayode Akintemi, when contacted confirmed he received complaints over the termination of Pastor Bakare’s broadcast.
