Nigeria’s broadcasting industry regulator, the National
Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has said that it has confiscated transmitters
being used by the controversial Radio Biafra across the South east, thereby
effectively neutralizing illegal broadcasts from the radio station.
NBC also claimed it has arrested operators of the radio
station while it was working to stop the transmission through the internet. The
Director General of NBC, Emeka Mba said this in a statement released today in
Abuja. He also disclosed that the brains behind the radio station are currently
being interrogated by security operatives.
It will be recalled that the government had earlier said it
has confiscated the transmitters of the radio stations, but the directors
released a press statement shortly after that to say it was untrue and they are
still very much transmitting.
