The National Broadcasting Commission [NBC] \u00a0has arrested operators of Radio Biafra,<\/p>\n
It also claimed again to have blocked the station from Nigeria\u2019s airwaves and seized its transmission equipment in many part of Nigeria\u2019s South-East zone.<\/p>\n
It was however not clear wether the main arrow head and extremely obnoxious Nnamdi Kanu was picked up.<\/p>\n
NBC\u2019s Director General, Emeka Mba, said \u00a0Friday \u200ethat\u00a0his commission has effectively neutralised the illegal broadcast from the pirate radio station he said had shattered the peace of South-East Nigeria with unsavoury messages.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWorking with security operatives, the commission has also tracked down, neutralized and confiscated transmitter equipment from several locations in the region,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cSome suspects involved in the illicit broadcasts have also been arrested and taken to Abuja for questioning and prosecution.<\/p>\n \u201cThe commission has also 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.\u201d<\/p>\n He said the commission appreciated the concerns expressed by Nigerians over the seditious activities of the illegal radio station and urged the people of the region to disregard the messages purveyed by it.<\/p>\n Radio Biafra was floated by some Nigerians in the South-East of the country, who appear nostalgic of the defunct Biafra Republic, which ceased to exist at the end of the Nigerian civil war in 1970.<\/p>\n While its backers say the radio caters for the needs of people from the region, the network is also known for propagating falsehood, dangerous propaganda and ideology of the former secessionist Republic.<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The National Broadcasting Commission [NBC] \u00a0has arrested operators of Radio Biafra, It also claimed again to have blocked the station from Nigeria\u2019s airwaves and seized its transmission equipment in many…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40519,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"\n
