The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has suspended indefinitely the broadcast license of DAAR Communications Plc, owners and operators of Africa Independent Television (AIT), Raypower FM and Faaji FM.
Director-General of the Commission, Kawu Moddibbo, at a press briefing Thursday told newsmen that the decision was taken after several warnings to the media outfit on “perceived lopsided and divisive contents in its programs.”
The Commission also accused the media conglomerate of generating content from social media for its programs.

Modibbo said, “DAAR Communications will have to walk through a narrow path to get its license back.”
Earlier on Thursday, Founder of the media conglomerate, High Chief Aleogho Dokpesi, staged a protest at the National Assembly and called for the resignation of the Commission’s DG over what he described as repeated attempts overtime to gag the television and radio networks.
According to Dokpesi, the Commission has over the last few years singled out AIT and Raypower for unnecessary intimidation.
