A city's public speaker - usually used to call people to prayer - started blasting out porn in the middle of the night.

Instead of the traditional Islamic call to worship, people in Kastamonu Turkey, were woken up to the soundtrack from a pornographic film at 1am last Wednesday.

A giggling witness recorded it with his smartphone and posted the recording on social media - where many people suggested municipality workers forgot to turn off the announcement system of the loudspeaker while watching a porn movie.

The clip, recorded from a speaker in the Kuzeykent suburb of the city, which includes the university and main bus station, quickly went viral, reports UPI.com .

Police are investigating, and the mayor of the city, Tahsin Babas, believed someone had mischievously hacked into the frequency used by the speakers.

Mayor Babas said: "This immoral and provocative broadcast was nothing to do with our institution.

"We will take legal action as soon as we can against whoever was responsible for this immoral act.

"We can only apologise to our dear citizens for any offence caused by this incident."

Police are investigating the porn broadcast and backed the mayor's claim that frequency hackers were responsible.

A police spokesman said: "They broke into the frequencies used by the municipal speaker which is why the sounds appeared in only one area.

"Anybody who can break into the frequency can broadcast anything they want.

"We have started an investigation."
