The National Broadcasting Commission on Friday said that it had neutralised Radio Biafra.
The commission, in a statement in Abuja
by its Director-General, Mr. Emeka Mba, said with the assistance of
security operatives, it had confiscated the equipment of the radio
station.
The statement read, “The commission has
worked with other agencies to remove the transmissions of the illegal
station from the satellite and this has put paid to the divisive and
disruptive transmissions. We are working on the Internet transmissions.”
The NBC said that it appreciated the concerns expressed by Nigerians about the seditious activities of the radio station.
The
commission reiterated its calls on the public to disregard the hate
messages broadcast by the radio station. It also said that security
operators had arrested operators of the radio and transferred them to
Abuja.
“Some of the suspects involved in the
illicit broadcasts have also been arrested and taken to Abuja for
questioning and prosecution,” it said.
