The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has fined Channels Television, AIT and Arise TV N3m each over their “unprofessional coverage” of the End SARS protests and the crisis that followed it.

The NBC acting Director General Prof. Armstrong Idachaba announced that sanction at a press conference in Abuja on Monday.

Idachaba said the affected media houses were fined N3,000,000 each for flouting the provisions of the Nigerian broadcasting code.

He warned that any station that continued to broadcast hate and inciting comments that threaten the security of the country would be shut down.
