The NBC noted that both companies have been found guilty of airing politically-inciting language on their platforms hence the sanction.
This was contained in separate letters signed by the body’s Director-General, Balarabe llelah, which compelled the parent companies operating Arise News and Television Continental, respectively, to pay N2m apiece for the offence.
In the letter to TVC, the media watchdog accused the platform of not offering equal coverage to other political parties asides from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
