NBC imposes heavy fine on Nigerian TV network for allegedly glorifying terrorists
In a related development, the NBC has imposed a fine of N5 million on Trust Television Network (Trust TV).
The NBC fined the television network over the broadcast of the documentary titled “Nigeria’s Banditry: The Inside Story”, which was aired by the station in March 2022.
Legit.ng gathers that NBC explained in a letter that the fine was imposed on Trust TV because its broadcast of the said documentary contravened sections of the National Broadcasting Code.
