NBC fines Arise TV for broadcasting fake report on Tinubu
The All Progressives Congress' (APC) Bola Tinubu's presidential candidate was the subject of a false story, for which the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) fined Arise Television N2 million.
The Independent National Broadcasting Commission (INEC) was reportedly looking into Tinubu's potential involvement in drugs and illegal substances, according to a story that was shown on the TV station.
A statement that the INEC claimed to have released went popular on social media, but the electoral organization refuted the claim on Saturday, calling it the product of malicious intent.
On Sunday, Arise TV expressed regret to Tinubu and INEC for deceiving the public.
The television station received a N2 million punishment, according to The Nation, for breaking the broadcasting rules.
