NBC fines Channels TV, Arise, AIT over #EndSARS “unprofessional coverage”

The acting Director-General of the NBC, Prof. Armstrong Idachaba, announced this at a press conference in Abuja on Monday.

The NBC had last week warned all television and radio stations against reporting the #EndSARS protests in a manner that could embarrass the government or private individuals or cause disaffection, incite to panic or rift in the society.

here are however different opinions to the fining of the television stations. While some see it as a clamp down on free press, others believe it’s a step in the right direction to stop the brewing crisis in the country as a result of the #EndSARS movement.
