Ban on Radio Hot Cocoa lifted

The President of the National Communication Council, NCC Peter Essoka has lifted the ban on the Bamenda popular Radio station, Radio Hot Cocoa FM 94.

He gave the orders Thursday in a meeting held with over 50 Journalists in the North West Region in the presence of NCC member Charles NDI CHIA and Station Manager of Radio Hot Cocoa, one time CRTV Journalist Gideon TAKA.

Radio Hot Cocoa will however not broadcast its program Biggest Breakfast Show till further notice.

Before making a statement on the activities of the radio, Peter Essoka took time to explain to media men and women present to exercise a sense of responsibility especially in times of crisis like the present situation in Bamenda. He also urges them to always verify information gotten from Social Media before disseminating because most of them are lies.

Radio Hot Cocoa was sealed on Tuesday January 10, 2017 by the Senior Divisional Officer for Mezam in the North West Region, Songa Pierre accompanied by his close collaborators The seal which took place around 4: 30PM indicated that the decision is a temporal suspension of the radio from going on air due to what they described as unethical practice in the morning program called the ‘Biggest Breakfast Show’ BBS anchored by Kiven Brenda and Mbaku Jude.
