An Islamic religious TV channel in Senegal has aired a hardcore porn movie on their network, blaming it on an
unidentified saboteur for the "satanic trick" that
led to a hardcore porn film being shown on air.
Touba TV's viewers who are predominantly Muslims were shocked when explicit
sexual content appeared on their screens between
13:10 and 13:30 local time on Monday.
The privately run TV station had initially said that
a troublesome "network bug" had led to the
blunder.
Touba TV is run by Senegal's influential Mouride
Islamic sect.
The channel has laid a complaint with the
authorities to identify the culprits.
The pornographic material ran during a popular
programme, Tarixu Juma for about 20 minutes.
"As a religious channel, the management of
Touba TV and all our audience members are
outraged and unreservedly condemn this criminal
act which seems to be sabotage and a satanic
trick designed to undermine a channel which is
known to stand for Islamic values and teachings,"
Touba TV management said in a statement.
The channel broadcasts religious programmes
promoting Islamic values and teachings.
It is not clear how the perpetrators accessed the
station's network.
Touba is the holy city of the Mouride sect, which
wields considerable political and economic power
in Senegal.
