NBC Shouldn’t Take Over Judiciary’s Role — Maharaji Ji

Sat Guru Maharaj Ji, Found­er of One Love Family, has cautioned the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), against taking over the services of the judiciary in Nigeria.

Maharaj Ji, in a state­ment tagged ‘Nigeria @61 will be blissful’, to commem­orate the nation’s indepen­dence anniversary, said the present situation where it is the regulatory board that decides the fine for erring media houses or journalists was barbaric.

He said it was a mockery of the constitution where the media groups which are not in the employment of the Ministry of Informa­tion to be sanctioned by it.

According to him, the judiciary is capable of han­dling such issues and situa­tions effectively.

He stated: “This act con­firms what many Nigerians are saying that there are people in government who wish president Buhari to fail. Or do we want the me­dia houses or journalists to go on strike? No oga I beg.”

To reduce unemploy­ment rate in Nigeria, Ma­haraj Ji advised the Federal Government to take steps to recruit three million Nige­rians into the police force and army.

“The Federal Govern­ment should recruit police­men and women among the high school, polytechnic and university graduates roaming about the city job­less on an entry salary of N250.000 per month.
