The
three months suspension not backed by any document Tuesday January 23 saw the
President of the NCC lead a delegation to Bamenda to ensure the sanction is
effectively enforced and suspend the program which runs on weekdays from 4-5pm and
another on Saturday morning on Radio Hot Cocoa.
Peter
Tebid Chi popularly called Mac Chi begins his three-month suspension for what
the NCC describes as violating the ethics of the profession.
Tongues
have been wagging in the City of Bamenda after the implementation of the
decision.
In January
2017, the Senior Divisional Officer for Mezam Songa Pierre Rene sealed the
doors of Radio Hot Cocoa in the heat of the Anglophone crisis due to the
critical nature of its breakfast program BBS.
The radio
was later reopened by the NCC but the presenter sacked and the program has been
suspended indefintely since then.
On Mac Chi’s
Facebook account he writes confirming the suspension “National communication
council Boss,Peter Essoka suspend Radio Hotcocoa pidgin news and Mac_chi the
presenter for three months.”
