Man Arrested For Playing Porn On Giant Video Billboard

Indonesian police have arrested a man who they say has confessed to broadcasting a pornographic film onto a large electronic billboard on a busy road in Jakarta.

The 24-year-old IT worker, identified by his initials S.A.R., was apprehended in a police raid at his company offices on Tuesday, Senior Adjunct Commissioner Roberto Pasaribu, of the Jakarta Police Special Crimes Unit said.
The suspect told police he approached the video billboard last week and saw the login name and password for the computer system that controls it displayed on the screen.
According to police, the suspect took a photo of the information with his mobile phone. When he got back to his office, he logged into the computer system, accessed a porn site and started playing a film.
About five minutes of the sex film was shown on the billboard before people in the area cut off electricity to it.
During the unscheduled show, passersby took photos and shared videos on social media that trended under the hashtag #videotron.
The suspect told police he played the film unintentionally, Pasaribu said.
If convicted, the suspect could face up to seven years in prison.

APC Disowns One Meal A Day Billboard

The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Lai Mohammed on Tuesday disowned a billboard in the social media purporting to prove that the governing party authorized two documents in which the then Presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari allegedly promised to achieve certain milestones in his first 100 days in office.

“Anybody can produce a billboard and display. We know nothing about it,” he said.

President Buhari’s spokespersons, Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu, as well as Alhaji Mohammed, have separately disowned the documents.

The billboard, which bears large portraits of the then candidate Buhari and his running mate, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, and three bold faces of pupils in school uniforms, has a banner that reads in capital letters: “ONE MEAL A DAY.”

The provision of one meal daily to pupils in public schools is one of the 100-day campaign promises of the documents, entitled: “My Covenant With Nigerians” and “One Hundred Things Buhari Will Do In 100 Days.”
