Illegal Advertising Practice:
APCON Begins Crackdown on Offenders
After several
sensitization visits to advertising establishments and warning notices to
illegal persons in advertising practice, the Advertising Practitioners Council
of Nigeria has commenced the arrest and prosecution of offenders.
The crackdown on
illegal practice which resumed last week took the enforcement team of APCON to
advertising agencies and media organizations identified as employing unlicensed
persons. The offenders have been invited for questioning by the police.
Some of the illegal
advertising persons being quizzed by the police include:
Mr. Manomahan
Chandroth, Product manager, Samsung, Mr. Kayode Adunmadeyin, Marketing manager
Radio Lagos, Omololu Omigbule, commercial manager, Top Radio and Yemi Egbebiyi,
head of client service, Blue Seal Communication. Others include Fifemayo Aiyesimaju, Strategy
and Business Executive of DDB, Lagos and Akinola Salu, Marketing manager of
Multi-Choice Nigeria and Kholeka Maringa, Head DSTV Media Sales.
Police investigation
is the first step in the process of prosecution of illegal advertising persons.
Act 55 of 1988,
empowers APCON to arrest and prosecute persons not registered by it to practice
advertising in Nigeria.
