The NBC has also summoned presenters of the TV station,
Chamberlain Usoh and Kayode Okikiolu to its office in Abuja for questioning.

‘Sunrise Daily’ breakfast programme were invited to the Abuja office of the
agency on Thursday over some comments made against President Muhammadu Buhari
by two guests during the programme on Tuesday.

an interview granted to Benue Governor Samuel Ortom
Following the moves by NBC, Sowore and other activists
stormed the agency’s residence in solidarity with the embattled TV station.

a black top with “Justice” written boldly on it with other activists, stood at
the entrance of the commission’s office.
