The National Broadcasting Commission on Friday said that it had neutralised Radio Biafra.
The
commission, in a statement in Abuja by its Director-General, Mr. Emeka
Mba, said with the assistance of security operatives, it had confiscated
the equipment of the radio station.
The
statement read, “The commission has worked with other agencies to remove
the transmissions of the illegal station from the satellite and this
has put paid to the divisive and disruptive transmissions. We are
working on the Internet transmissions.”
The NBC said that it appreciated the concerns expressed by Nigerians about the seditious activities of the radio station.
The
commission reiterated its calls on the public to disregard the hate
messages broadcast by the radio station. It also said that security
operators had arrested operators of the radio and transferred them to
Abuja.
“Some
of the suspects involved in the illicit broadcasts have also been
arrested and taken to Abuja for questioning and prosecution,” it said.
Punch Reportage.
