NBC Fines Arise TV Over Report On Tinubu
THE National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has imposed a fine N2million on Arise Television for breaching the broadcasting code over a fake report about the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.
The television station had aired a report that the Independent National Broadcasting Commission (INEC) was investigating Tinubu’s alleged crime bordering on narcotics and illicit drugs.
A purported statement purportedly issued by the INEC had gone viral on social media, but the electoral body, on Saturday debunked the report, saying it was a handiwork of mischief-makers.
Arise TV had on Sunday apologised to Tinubu and INEC for misleading the general public.
