The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has suspended the licences of the African Independent Television, AIT, and Ray Power FM indefinitely.
The two stations belonged to Daar Communications Limited.
NBC’s Director-General, Dr Modibbo Kawu, said on Thursday in Abuja, that the two stations had been shutdown until further notice.
He said the stations committed offences, which 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,” and others.
