The Media Complaints Commission (MCC) on Thursday, June 19, ordered Nation Media Group (NMG) to make amends to a documentary which falsely linked the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) church to religious extremism.
The decision stems from a complaint filed by an SDA member to the Media Council's complaints commission, accusing NTV of wrongfully linking the church to alleged occult practices.
The media house, in its controversial documentary, Holy Betrayal: Full SDA Cult Exposé, aired on April 7 2024, was also criticised for unfairly associating the church with the infamous Shakahola Massacre.
Upon receiving the complaint, MCC probed the allegations, only to find the media outlet guilty of breaching the Code of Conduct for Journalism, specifically on the accuracy and fairness clause.
