The Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) has rejected the N5m fine imposed on Channels Television and Inspiration FM by the National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, for alleged infractions.
These fines, according to the Guild, are punitive, arbitrary and against press freedom. “The NBC is punishing Channels TV for interviewing the spokesman for the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IpoB, while Inspiration FM is facing the hammer of NBC for broadcasting a statement by IPoB declaring a sit – at – home order”, it said in a statement. “Once again, the NBC has played the role of an accuser, the prosecutor and the judge. “In a democratic country like ours, a panel should have been set up to investigate the alleged infractions, with both stations given the opportunity for defence.
