 Amnesty International Condemns NBC Ban on Eedris Abdulkareem’s Song


Amnesty International Nigeria has criticized the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) for banning Eedris Abdulkareem’s song “Tell Your Papa”, calling it a violation of free speech and access to information.


In a statement via Facebook, Amnesty described the ban—which labels the song “Not To Be Broadcast” due to its criticism of government—as an abuse of power. The group urged President Bola Tinubu to order an immediate reversal, stressing that dissent is not grounds for censorship.


Amnesty also faulted NBC’s use of the Broadcasting Code, calling it flawed and incompatible with Nigeria’s international obligations. The group warned that such actions threaten media freedom, silence artists, and stifle creative expression.


The ban has also drawn backlash from SERAP, which issued a 48-hour ultimatum for its reversal.
