According to the advertising regulatory body, the advert material was neither vetted nor approved by the Advertising Standard Panel before being exposed on social media, hence, contravening the regulations of the ARCON.

A statement by the Director General of the body, Dr Olalekan Fadolapo, calls for the immediate suspension of the material added that advertisement as it is, is in violation of the Nigerian Code of Advertising.
