Nigeria Federal Government have Suspended CHANNELS TELEVISION, LAGOS, by ordering the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to immediately issue  a withdrawing of the Broadcasting License of Channels TV. Channels TV had been shut on Tuesday night for airing the news that President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua might RESIGN after the impending cabinet reshuffle on health ground.

It is no longer a rumour that President Musa Umar Yar'Adua has been ill over some time now. When he recently travelled to Saudi Arabia for treatment, various issues were raised concerning the president.

As security agents kept sentry at the premises of Channels Television for the second day running yesterday, The NBC Director-General Yomi Bolarinwa said in a statement last night that the suspension of the station’s operations was in consonance with the provisions of the NBC code on broadcast stations.

The report allegedly emanated from a “newsflash” sent via e-mail address from “News Agency Nigeria”, through newsagency [email protected].

And as the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and prominent lawyer, Chief Gani Fawehinmi (SAN), among others, rose to condemn the continued closure of Channels TV last night, the State Security Service (SSS) alleged that the nation’s first family and some top government functionaries were under attack by “some unnamed disgruntled persons”.

::: My people una see wetin dey happun for Naija? :::  Na God go Save Us Oooh! This matta just be like setup against Channels TV. Because this station don dey about 15Years now and dem dey kollect award always for their professionalism and factual news. Even sef, if you take critical look well well on the Email Address wey dem take send the News give Channels Editors you go confirm say na Setup. But as e be now so, The tory don change ooh, NTA dey there, AIT dey there, none of dem gree broadcast the news, dem allow only Channels TV do am, before dem know water don pass garri... Inshort Yar'Adua Go Must Resign!
