NBC Reopens Independent Television And RayPower FM

Following a court order on Friday, the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has reopened the Africa Independent Television and RayPower FM.

The court ordered the NBC and other parties to a suit filed by Daar Communications Plc, operator of African Independent Television and RayPower 100.5 FM to maintain status quo.

The two broadcasting companies were shut down on Thursday, resumed transmission Friday evening following an order by a Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday.

In his ruling, on an ex parte application by Daar Communications Plc, Justice Inyang Ekwo directed all the parties to maintain status quo as of May 30, 2019, pending the determination of the plaintiff’s application for an interlocutory injunction against the NBC and the two other defendants – the Federal Ministry of Culture and Information and the Attorney-General of the Federation.

The applicant had filed the ex parte motion on May 30 informing the court that “credible information just reaching” it “has it that the defendants have concluded plans to, in the next few days, invade and shut down the premises of the plaintiff and/or part thereof.”
