AIT, Ray Power FM still breaking broadcasting code – NBC explodes

The NBC stated this in a statement on Saturday.

The statement reads in part, “The National Broadcasting Commission wishes to take note of the ex parte order granted by the Federal High Court Abuja division on June 7, 2019 to Daar Communications Plc.

“The ex parte order was sequel upon a motion ex parte dated May 30, 2019 and filed on May 3, 2019, by Daar Communications Plc.
