Careless Broadcasting: ....Unethical ....

--- WAZOBIA FM Kano closed down over killing of Nine Polio Vaccinators ---

The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has suspended the Operating Licence of Globe Broadcasting and Communications Limited, owners of Wazobia FM, in Kano.

The suspension is contained in a statement issued in Abuja today (February 22, 2013) by the commission’s Head of Public Affairs, Awwalu Salihu. He explained in the statement that the suspension is in continuation of the steps taken by the commission following the broadcast of an episode of the programme – Sandar Girma.

It said the programme was found to have breached Section 3.9.1 of the Nigerian Broadcasting Code which prohibits the use of language encouraging crime or disorder. “Section 3.9.1, stipulates that:
language or scene likely to encourage or incite crime, or lead to disorder, shall not be broadcast.”

Salihu said the commission is of the opinion that the station used its broadcast rights in a manner that was detrimental to national interest and ordered the station to go off air with `immediate’ effect until further notice.
