BREAKING: Court Stops National Broadcasting Commission From Imposing Fines On Broadcast Stations In Nigeria | Sahara ReportersA Federal High Court in Abuja has stopped the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) from further imposing fines on broadcast stations in Nigeria. The court on Wednesday gave an order of perpetual injunction restraining NBC from imposing fines, henceforth, on broadcast stations in the country. In his judgement, Justice James Omotosho voided the N500,000 fine imposed individually on 45 broadcast stations on March 1, 2019. The judge said NBC is not a court of law, and therefore, lacks the power to impose sanctions as punishment on broadcast stations.
