The Advertising Practitioners Council of Nigeria (APCON) has threatened Sterling Bank with Sanction over what is considered distasteful and blasphemous message sent to customers of the bank. The content of the Sterling bank message reads “Like Agege Bread, he rose. Happy Easter”

Most customers of the bank and everyone that saw the message considered it an aberration to liken Jesus Christ to Agege bread. The bank is headed by a northern muslim, Abubakar Suleiman. Some commentators believe that such content will not suffice if it was a message moslem faithful’s during and after ramadan celebration all over the world
