Anthony Okeah, acting managing director of Rivers signage and advertisement agency (RISAA), says two persons have been arrested over their alleged involvement in the display of pornographic content on a billboard in the state.
On October 14, a pornographic video was streamed on an electronic billboard at the Rebisi flyover area in Port Harcourt, the Rivers capital.
The billboard is said to be managed by “E-motion Limited”.
Speaking on the development at a media briefing on Friday, Okeah said the regulatory agency has taken necessary steps to ensure that there isn’t a repeat of such incident.
He added that the culprits have been handed over to the Rivers police command, after which they will be transferred to the state criminal investigation department.
“The agency is vexed and all necessary steps have been taken to ensure that this does not happen anymore,” he said.
“We want it to serve as a deterrent to any other organisation or company that does advertisement business in Rivers state.
“When our attention was drawn late yesterday, we quickly swung into action. We had the culprits arrested and shut down the structure.
“It is now under our custody. We are possessing it as long as investigation continues. We will verify the remote and immediate cause of this, whether it is an act of sabotage or negligence.
“The matter, as we speak, is before the Rivers state command. As soon as that happened, we arrested them. We will soon transfer them to state CID for public display or parade for the people of Rivers and Nigeria to know that it’s illegal not to obey the law.
“The company involved is the E-motion Nigeria Limited. They are vastly known. They have experience and knowledge. So, it baffles and saddens me that they are involved in such a case.
