Nigeria Info: Nigerians on Twitter slam NBC

Nigerians on Thursday lampooned the National Broadcasting Commission for imposing a fine of N5m on a radio station,, over recent comments made by a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Dr Obadiah Mailaifa.

He was later invited by the Department of State Services in Jos on Wednesday and was grilled for six hours. “This is expected to serve as a deterrent to all other broadcast stations in Nigeria who are quick to provide platform for subversive rhetoric and the expositions of spurious and unverifiable claims, to desist from such.

@Humbleone001 wrote, “This is just to intimidate other media houses. Mind you, when they are done with them, they will definitely come for common individuals. I smell a big cover-up for something too huge to come in the future. It only takes a failed regime to be afraid of the media.” @frank_okeoma said, “If Mailafia’s utterances were not truthful, he would not have been released but have been in detention by now. As usual, the government in its efforts to gag the media fined the platform.”
