The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC has suspended Channels Television with a fine N5 million for breaching the broadcast code.
In a letter to the Managing Director of Channels Television signed by the Acting Director General of the Commission, NBC, Prof. Armstrong Idachaba, the Commission referred to Channels 7pm live broadcast programme of Sunday, 25th April, 2021, in which it accused the TV station of allowing a leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra, IPOB to make secessionist and inciting declarations on air without caution or reprimand by the station contrary to the broadcast code.
It also accused the station of allowing the guest speaker to make derogatory, false and misleading statements about the Nigerian army, despite being proscribed by a court of law.
Nigeria has become a failed State and now under a terrorist leader. Their boys are in control of northern Nigeria killing, kidnapping people. The southeast governors were sleeping when nonstate actors formed ESN to defend their land andfarmers but now the terrorists sponsors sent their terrorist groups and military to kill people who are not killing or kidnapping citizens, instead of sending troops to were innocent people are been killed and kidnapped.
