The National Broadcasting Commission has fined Channels Television, Arise Television and Africa Independent Television for what it labeled “unprofessional coverage” of the #EndSARS protests.

The acting Director-General of the NBC, Prof. Armstrong Idachaba, announced this at a press conference in Abuja on Monday.

Recall that the NBC had last week cautioned all television and radio stations against reporting the #EndSARS protests in a way that could humiliate the government or private individuals or cause disaffection, incite to panic or rift in the society.
