]]> The Nigerian government is investigating why the reality TV series Big Brother Nigeria, re-launched on Big Brother Naija, is being shot in South Africa.

The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) is to investigate why the event could not be produced in Nigeria.

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed’s asked the NBC to determine whether Multi-Choice has breached the Nigerian Broadcasting Code in any way, by shooting the show in South Africa.

They’ll see whether it is deceitful because the viewing public was never told that the event would be staged outside Nigeria.

Mohammed says the the outcome of the investigation will determine government’s  next course of action.

Multichoice/DSTV has declined to comment, saying the media will be properly briefed shortly.
