The National Broadcasting Commission has barred television and radio stations in Nigeria from divulging “details” of the activities of bandits, terrorists, and kidnappers in their reports.
NBC, in a statement specifically directed radio and television stations not to “glamourise the nefarious activities of insurgents” during their daily newspaper reviews.
Many of the broadcast stations in the country make newspaper headlines review parts of their daily programmes.
However, according to a letter dated July 7, 2021, issued to television and radio stations, the regulator called for “caution” by broadcasters while reporting security challenges in the country.
The letter titled, ‘Newspaper Reviews and Current Affairs Programmes: A Need For Caution’, was signed by the Director, Broadcast Monitoring, Francisca Aiyetan, on behalf of the new Director-General of the Commission, Balarabe Ilelah.
