The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) on Monday slammed a N5 million fine on Channels Television for breaching the broadcast code.
In a letter signed by the Acting Director-General of NBC, Prof. Armstrong Idachaba, and addressed to the Managing Director of Channels Television, the commission accused the TV station of allowing the spokesman of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Emmanuel Powerful, to make secessionist and inciting declarations when he featured in the TV station’s programme, Sunday Politics, without caution or reprimand by the management.
NBC also accused Channels Television of allowing the IPOB spokesman to make derogatory, false and misleading statements about the Nigerian Army, despite being proscribed by a court of competent jurisdiction in the country.
In the said programme, Powerful claimed IPOB has appointed a new commander to replace its slain key member who was killed during Saturday’s raid on the group’s operational base by security agents.
He also accused the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, of masterminding the killing of the IPOB commander and six other suspected militias during the raid.In the said programme, Powerful claimed IPOB has appointed a new commander to replace its slain key member who was killed during Saturday’s raid on the group’s operational base by security agents.
