The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has fined Channels Television, AIT and Arise TV N3 million each over their “unprofessional coverage” of the EndSARS protests and the crisis that followed it.
Acting Director-General of NBC Prof Armstrong Idachaba announced the sanction at a press conference in Abuja.
He said that if the commission escalates the violations that emanated from the misuse of social media sources by broadcasters, sanctions according to the provisions of the law, NBC can comfortably shut the stations down.
Idachaba said the stations’ offence was capable of leading to a breakdown of law and order but the option of the fine will serve as a warning to the stations and others.

Unprofessional coverage indeed! For showing the world what truly happened? Yeye dey smell

DeleteOk. They have to suffer some losses like TVC right? Powers that be in Nigeria are at work.
ReplyDeleteSo they should doctored it?
ReplyDeleteTo whom it may concern,
ReplyDeleteKeep hiding behind anyone and anything to cover your heinous crimes. From denying the killings, to making claims of properties worth billions being damaged, to denying giving orders for the execution and killings of those protesters to now arm twisting NBC. It is just a matter of time. You shall dance to the music you have placed on repeat. Keep, keeping on.
😟😟😟
DeleteJust a matter of time....
In no time!!
DeleteIt would all come to light , there'd be confusion in their midst and they'd start spilling.
Amen
DeleteWell said. He shall truly dance to the music he has placed on repeat
DeleteThese companies should come together to file a law suite against NBC. What nonsense?. Very foolish government
ReplyDeleteReal Nonsense in a democratic government.
DeleteI won't lose hope , we would get there eventually .
This is really sad.That the NBC has to hold the credible tv stations by their scrotum. this is how corruption has eaten deep into our system. who is check balancing NBC when they are checking radio stations and tv stations? who has the last say? at the end of the day it's one old man or men sitting idly somewhere is in charge. U people will rot alive. baggers
ReplyDeleteNone of the broadcasting station was present and can truly say what happened,
DeleteHow about CNN, Al-Jazeera, and BBC. They should also do the same to these channels. They think they are smart. How about the governor that said one person lost his life but came back to say two people lost their lives? These people don't know that their cup is already full. I pity them.
DeleteE pain them😂😂😂😂😂 I was expecting this really!
ReplyDeleteUnprofessional is reporting it as it is without bias or covering up? Smh that's the reason i don't bother with NTA news. I wait for channels Tv news at ten
ReplyDeleteNta na fake news full am
DeleteThey've started with their witch hunting... useless government
ReplyDeleteThem no shame sef
DeleteShameless NBC.
ReplyDeleteImagine the kind of organization in charge of information in Nigeria
shameless you say? it is a got agency and they still report to maybe minister of information who will do as the presidency says..ican bet my royal arse the NBC did not initiate this
DeleteAlso fine Instagram live that was used to video live protest and soldiers shooting, Facebook, Twitter and all the people that made videos.
ReplyDeleteWe aren’t backing down, we are restrategizing and coming back in full force. All these old fools that set us back for years must be brought to justice, stripped of the nation’s wealth and kicked out so we can have younger responsible leaders. #Endbadgovernance.

DeleteLet them continue in their futile acts, One thing I know time will tell in this Country Nigeria that Power belongs to the Living God Almighty alone, and He gives to whomever He wants, their disgrace is loading,soon it'll manifest
ReplyDeleteAmen
DeleteWe have bad leaders yes. I am a youth and I base in Abuja. The problem of this country isn't just the president and his gang. Our problem mostly are the civil servants ( the ogas). Majority of Abuja houses are owned by civil servants. How do they get their money? Before most contracts are awarded, the director in charge gets his percentage, the minister gets his own, the perm sec gets his own, before your file can be transferred to the other table, you have to pay the staff, except the few that have the fear of God.
ReplyDeleteGovernment allocate money to ministries and parastatals, for example prison, money meant for the supply of uniforms, is being embezzled by the top officers, and that is why you see prisoners wearing different kind of clothes. The system is so bad that, warders have to source for money to fuel the van before they can take a prisoner to the court. Tell me, where will the money come from. Same thing happens in other sectors.
The system is bad, pls what is the way forward?
If another party takes over as we all are agitating and this same people are still in government sectors without proper check, then we are heading no where.
I am a business woman, not a civil servant nor a politician. But I work for all these people,mind you, I'm into handwork.
Time
ReplyDeleteThe great leveler
GOD
Source of true justice
Take charge of Nigeria
chai uncle why? they must hae summoned you from presidency
