THE National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), has
said it's effort to block Biafra Television, from
airing in the country’s airwaves was in
futility because the station is transmitting
via international transmission system.
The media station is believed to be owned by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The Commission’s Director General, Mr.
Modibo Kawu who said the development
was already known to relevant security agencies, spoke during an interactive
session with journalists in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, on Tuesday 6th.
He said, “Last week, I was in the office of the
Inspector- General of Police and they had a
TV screen and what was being broadcast was on Biafra Television; they were saying
some of the most outlandish things, showing videos from the 1960s and
abusing everyone.
“Now, this is happening and they were asking us (NBC) because our duty is to
monitor and regulate such but the television is coming from outside of Nigeria.
“Our engineers have been making contacts
with the international satellite organisation that does broadcast to Africa about the fact
that you cannot allow subversive broadcast
into Nigeria from other parts of the world.
“The Biafra Television in the South-East, we
have been tracking the station. The broadcast is coming from outside Nigeria.
We have been asking questions from
international satellite test systems where
they are coming from. That is how it is for now.”
