Nigeria Fines TV Station Over Biafra Interview

  Nigeria s National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has fined Channels Television £13,000 ($9,300) for airing an interview with a banned group, breaching the broadcast code. It also suspended one of its popular shows, Politics Today, which did the interview. The commission referred to Channels 7.00 pm live broadcast programme of Sunday, 25 April 2021, in which it accused the TV station of allowing a leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra, (Ipob) to make secessionist and inciting declarations on air without caution or reprimand by the station, the Vanguard newspaper website said. Ipob campaigns for the independence of Nigeria s south-eastern region, where the ethnic Igbo people form the majority. It is outlawed in Nigeria, which labelled it a terrorist organisation in 2017.
