The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has suspended Daar Communication PLC, operator of African Independent Television (AIT) and Ray Power radio station.
The Director-General of NBC, Dr Modibbo Kawu said the decision was taken for the persistent violating of the 2004 broadcasting Code, following persistent warning to the company. The DC added that the decision is not political partisanship but a violation of the broadcasting code of the country despite the persistent warning.
Meanwhile, notable Nigerians like Peter Obi, Shehu Sani, Fani-Kayode, Obi Ezekwesili and others have taken to social media to share their thoughts about the suspension.
