Cancellation

After airing 3 episodes, NdaniTV canceled the series and removed the uploaded episodes from YouTube. This occurred following a sexual assault allegation against a Nigerian pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo and it led to speculations that the takedown was related to the situation even though the series aired before that. Ndani TV did not issue an official statement.[4][5]
