Dyepkazah ShibayanThe National Broadcasting Commission has imposed fines on Trust Television, MultiChoice Nigeria Limited, TelCom Satellite Limited, and StarTimes LimitedBalarabe Ilelah, director-general of the NBC, announced the development in in a statement on Wednesday.

“The National Broadcasting Commission, today, August 3, 2022, imposed a Five Million Naira sanction, each, on Multichoice Nigeria Limited, owners of DSTV; TelCom Satellite Limited ; NTA Startimes Limited; for the carriage of the documentary by the BBC Africa Eye titled, ‘Bandit Warlords of Zamfara’ which glorified the activities of bandits and undermines national security in Nigeria,” the statement reads.

According to Ilelah, the airing of the documentaries contravened section 3 of the broadcast code which reads: “No broadcast shall encourage or incite to crime. lead to public disorder or hate, be repugnant to public feelings or contain offensive reference to any person or organisation, alive or dead or generally be disrespectful to human dignity”.

“Broadcasters are enjoined to be instruments of national unity and desist from falling into antics of using their platforms to promote and glamorise subversive elements and their activities.
