Nigeria’s broadcasting
industry regulator, the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has said
that it has confiscated transmitters being used by the controversial
Radio Biafra across the South east, thereby effectively neutralizing
illegal broadcasts from the radio station.
NBC also claimed it has
arrested operators of the radio station while it was working to stop the
transmission through the internet. The Director General of NBC, Emeka
Mba said this in a statement released today in Abuja. He also disclosed
that the brains behind the radio station are currently being
interrogated by security operatives.
It will be recalled that the government had earlier said it has confiscated the transmitters of the radio stations, but the directors released a press statement shortly after that to say it was untrue and they are still very much transmitting.
