The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) on Thursday suspended the operating licences of the African Independent Television (AIT) and Raypower FM belonging to the Daar Communications Limited.
The Director-General of NBC, Dr Modibbo Kawu, stated this at a press briefing in Abuja, saying the Daar Communication Limited’s media houses’ shutdown was until further notice.
The offences listed by the NBC included the airing of a Presidential election documentary by the AIT, a matter pending before a tribunal, the inability of the company to pay its fees, the use of “divisive and inciting contents from the Social Media” among others.
