The video that made FG to suspend Channels TV has emerged.
NewsOne Nigeria had reported earlier that the Federal Government through the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), suspended Channels Television with a fine N5 million for breaching the broadcast code.
This online news platform understands that the NBC in a letter to the Managing Director of Channels Television, signed by the Acting Director General of the NBC, Prof. Armstrong Idachaba, referred to Channels 7pm live broadcast programme of Sunday, April 25, 2021, accusing the TV station of allowing a leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) to make secessionist and inciting declarations on air without being cautioned or reprimanded by the station.
The NBC described it as contrary to the broadcast code, accusing the station of allowing the guest speaker to allegedly make derogatory and misleading statements about the Nigerian Army, despite being proscribed by a court of law.
This has been met with so much rejection and backlashes as so many claimed that the government isn’t democratic in its approach to tame the media in Nigeria.
However, here is the video that caused the suspension slammed on Channels TV
