Controversial investigative journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, has asked DStv to remove national broadcaster NTA News 24 from channel 419.
The numbers 419 is a colloquial term for fraud in Nigeria.
Tweeting early Monday, Ms Olunloyo accused DStv of being disrespectful despite the efforts of the Nigerian government to end apartheid in South Africa.
DStv is a South African-based cable network which has expanded its influence in the African space with GOtv.
“Dear @dstv U ARE SO DISRESPECTFUL. I am demanding you take our national broadcaster @NTANewsNow off Channel 419,” Olunloyo wrote.
“Upon how we helped u end apartheid, OBJ and Shagari spending over $10M, you killed my ppl during Xenophobia and now tagged us to that FRAUD number? Ch 419 must GO.”
Multichoice Group, owners of DStv, is one of several successful establishments like Shoprite, Pep and Mr Price with South African origin operating in Nigeria. Shoprite, however, is now looking to divest and have a Nigerian owner.
