The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has fined DAAR Communications (owner of AIT/Raypower) N500,000 for persistent violation of the provisions of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code.



NBC’s Head of Public Affair, Mrs Maimuna Jimada, in a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja, said comments made on Raypower’s programme `Political Platform’ was against the broadcasting code. Jimada said that the organisation was sanctioned due to provocative, inflammatory and divisive comments by anchors of the Political Platform.



She said that the Commission on May 2, 2017, Aug. 15, 2017 and February 2018, held meetings with staff of DAAR Communications to caution them on unprofessional manner of anchors of the programme. She stated that the Commission had charged the team handling the programme to be fair, and balance their reportage. According to her, during the Feb. 7 meeting, the Commission stressed the need to comply with the broadcasting code to avoid sanctions.



“The Political Platform episode on July 24, was marked by sensational and heated expression of opinion by its anchors, who went on to make unproven and inciting allegations. For avoidance of doubt, the Director-General drew the attention of DAAR Communications to the following provisions of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code: (1) Section 1.9.3:  “A presenter/anchor shall not express his or her personal opinion in a programme. Also Section 5.2.7:“A broadcaster shall, in using political material for news, avoid taking inflammatory and divisive matter in its provocative form and Section 5.2.5 stated that political broadcasts shall be in decent language,” she said.



Jimada reiterated that broadcasting stations should ensure that anchors of their programmes were properly informed and trained on the ethics of the profession as well as the provisions of the broadcasting code.

The chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Ideato North Local Government of Imo state, Sunny Ejiagwu, was killed by suspected assassins in the early hours of today Friday July 27th.



Confirming the incident, the state commissioner of police, Dasuki Galandanchi, said Ejiagwu was murdered along the Akokwa road in Ideato North local government area and his body has been deposited at a nearby mortuary.

''The APC chairman in Ideato North has been murdered. I was at the scene of the crime and only came back. His corpse has been evacuated to a mortuary. There is no preliminary suspicion but the investigator would find out.  The blood of the innocent would expose them'' the police boss said
Ejiagwu, popularly known as Ohaneze was one of the 27 LGAs chairmen inaugurated on Monday by the new state chairman, Daniel Nwafor, after the state APC rescheduled election as ordered by the court.

Reacting to the murder, the state party secretariat, APC state chairman, Nwafor, said

''The killing is condemnable because APC  preaches peace and political tolerance. People should practice politics without bitterness and violence. The constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria guarantees freedom of association. We, therefore, call on the Inspector General of police to press on the commissioner of police to nab the culprits. Imo  is a peaceful state and an example of how politics should be played.

The deceased was in our meeting on Thursday and he expressed concern about political violence in his area. He told us that his area is volatile and called on us to come to his rescue when the need arises. From the information made available to me, he was double-crossed and when he tried to move back he fell into the gutter. His killers went there and shot him severely” .

The Former Governor of Gombe State, Abubakar Habu Hashidu has died at the age of 74 after a long battle with Alzheimers disease on Friday morning at his home in Gombe.

✊🏿🔘PRESS RELEASE🔘✊🏿



1. My attention has been drawn to an unfortunate rape and stab incident of a female student of University of Jos which occurred at Russo village behind Mummy Joe's restaurant.

2. The University Community is not a soulless community. If we were, then the outpouring of anger as we have seen it across the community would not have been manifest. Our community has a soul, a heart and a mind.  A soul to respond to these unspeakable crimes committed against women, a heart that reaches out in empathy and solidarity and a mind that does not fall for hate games played by those who wish to pollute the sacred secular fibre of the community.


3. While commiserating with the Lady whose only offense was to go and read for her examination.

4. I want to condemn in strong terms the callous and cowardice act by the perpetrators of this dastardly act. And I pray that the perpetrators never find peace and may the pains they made this innocent soul go through hunt them and their households and come back to them in thousand folds, pressed down and running over till they truly repent.

5. I am deeply concerned about the prevalence of gender-based violence, including sexual violence against girls, which we are witnessing within the University environs. Its less than a week when we have heard four Unijos ladies kidnapped around Odus;  while they have regained their freedom it was alleged unfortunately that two of those ladies were raped. And before we have finished swallowing that bitter pill another insensitive event has occurred.

6. I also want to appeal to the female folks to please exercise extreme caution and move in large mix groups of both guys and ladies. Always ensure that you don't stray into harms way. If possible get a pepper spray, and please always scream  *GREAT JOSSITE*; this is the word that signifies danger and help could come your way.


7. I want those reading this to note that not being assaulted is not a privilege to be earned through the judicious application of personal safety strategies. If this is a learning environment and normal people live here, a woman should be able to walk down the streets of a University Community  at 4 in the morning , without the fear of being assaulted or raped.
We must join our hands and fight against the prebendal forces of primitive mercantilism.

8. As we all continue to read for and write the first semester examinations, I pray that God in his infinite mercies protect us all and  grant us success in the examination.
