From Yakubu Busari , Jos
The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has shutdown a private radio station, Jay FM 101.9 in Jos.
This is coming barely 24 hours after the management of the station was invited by the Department of State Services (DSS).
Investigation revealed that the security outfit stormed the station few hours after the General Manager reported to its Jos office
following another invitation.
Even though the management of JayfM 101.9 are yet to disclose the content of the discussion with the DSS, the closure of the station by NBC might not to unconnected with the possible violation of the NBC broadcasting code during and after election.
Efforts to reach the management of Jay FM proved abortive as the lines were unreachable
Jay FM 101.9 is considered an “opposition” voice which entertains opinions from all sections of the society which government sympathizers have frowned upon and also accused the station of broadcadsting propaganda and incitement.
