NBC fines Arise Television N2 million.

The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has fined Arise Television N2 million over what it described as a fake report about the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu.

The TV station had aired a report that the Independent National Broadcasting Commission (INEC) was investigating Tinubu’s alleged crime bordering on narcotics and illicit drugs but the electoral body, on Saturday debunked the report, saying it was a handiwork of mischiefs.

Arise TV had on Sunday apologized to Tinubu and INEC for misleading the general public but the television station was fined N2m for breaching the broadcasting code.
