The National Broadcasting Commission has heavily fined Channels Television, Arise Television and Africa Independent Television (AIT) for what it termed “unprofessional coverage” of the #EndSARS protests that rocked the country.
The Acting Director-General of the NBC, Prof. Armstrong Idachaba, announced this at a press conference held on Monday (Today) in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria.
It would be recalled that the NBC had last week warned all television and radio stations against reporting the #EndSARS protests in a manner that could embarrass the government or private individuals or cause disaffection, incite to panic or rift in the society.
