A major accomplice of rogue broadcaster Radio Biafra, an engineer based in Enugu has been apprehended by the Department of State Security operatives. The suspect as Daily Sun exclusively gathered yesterday was being transported to Abuja as at Press time of filling this report.

It is believed that the Enugu-based accomplice assisted the main radio pirate in London by placing not so large equipment on abandoned NITEL transmission polls and a few transmitters owned by other mobile telecom providers.

This is even as the Director-General of the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Emeka Mba, in an exclusive chat with Daily Sun on the issue, said the satellite signals from the malicious station will be blocked from reaching Nigeria by the end of yesterday (Thursday).

The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Information, Shade Yemi-Esan, had on Wednesday told State House Correspondents after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari that NBC had successfully jammed the signals of station.

Mba, who declined comment on the arrest of the accomplice of the radio station which he said sent signals to Nigeria through a London-based content provider, however, noted that beyond jamming the signals, once it is discovered to have hacked into a Nigerian station, the commission was optimistic of completely cutting off its ability to broadcast in the country via satellite yesterday.

He denied the rumor that the commission was slow at clamping down on the station which he described as broadcasting nonsensical garbage. The NBC had to “catch the station in the act” before taking action.

He said: “When they were broadcasting on the internet it was not much an issue, until they started appropriating FM frequencies in various cities across the South East and it became for us an urgent national security matter. We had to trace them. They are using more sophisticated equipment and we had to upgrade our own equipment to track them. To be honest it was difficult dealing with them because they are on satellite and while we are able to neutralise the terrestrial frequencies on the FM band, satellite is very a different thing, and they are outside Nigeria where you have different protocols with how you deal with this issue. They also online and you know how difficult it is to deal with this kind of thing online.

“But then again they are as using what we call frequency agile transmitters through which they hop from one frequency to another. So once you block them in one frequency, they move to another. So what we have done is to upgrade our capacity to follow and block them where ever they are transmitting. To give you and instance, they were transmitting through 104.7 FM Enugu yesterday (Wednesday), they moved to 102.1 FM Enugu and we also jammed it. This is why it is more important for us to catch them than the process of jamming.

“I can assure everyone that these people will be caught and we will support the security agencies to ensure that they face the full wrath of the law. It is no longer a matter of running a pirate station. It is now a matter of subverting the state. There is a possibility of it becoming a matter of sedition as some of the content of the broadcast is declaring war on Nigeria. Our job at the NBC is to use our technical capacity to ensure that we are able to neutralise them wherever they crop up. I am confident that before the end of today we should be able to take them off satellite. This will deal a major blow to their ability to send signal to Nigeria from where they are based abroad.

lol she's always first

Those who do not know the consequences of war keep calling for it.

What is the engineer's name? I mean, who is his father?

As long as that Nnamdi Kanu is walking free,nothing has been achieved.
That guy is a fraudster,tribal bigot and has carried out a seditious act.
However,the most annoying part of this saga is that enlightened,educated people can fall for the antics of that cheap scam artist and could in this day and age identify with his hate speeches and tribal agenda,despite the lessons the world has painfully learnt from the Rwanda genocide which started with similar kind of ethnic hate speeches.
Kanu and all promoters of d radio station should be found wherever they are and made to face the full wrath of d law.

nobody is calling for war, a group of people have the right to decide to be part of an entity.

let the government open talks with their leaders for a way forward.
people can't continue to be part of a nation that they are not benefiting anything from.

1914-2014

can you list what this group of people have benefited from Nigeria.
besides constitutionally, 100 years is over.

no matter what you think, there is war to come, else the future generations will still have to fight this war.

WE ARE ONLY POSTPONING THE EVIL DAY

Action President. Their sponsors should get ready to die by hanging for treason.

Wahala dey

l smell conspiracy between IBO Head of NBC and biafra radio, Mr Mba is sympathetic to his brother KANU hence NBC is slow in taken action. Hmm that is one of greatest legacy of GEJ administration all regulatory agencies are headed by ibos( NCC ,NBC,CBN,PENCON,NERC,SEC,NAICON, etc) remove IBO man biafra radio will be off air

Radio Biafra just made a huge mistake! They have given the Nigerian state ample reason to hunt them now. You can't hack radio equipments and hijack random frequencies, it's sedition against the Republic. That bigot Nnamdi Kanu can be arrested and extradited to Nigeria (though I'll advise against that, it'll only make the fool a hero).

Who cares about Radio Biafra anyways? The real igbos don't give a flying f**k, they just wanna make money and live fine.

They did not arrest anybody jareh.


Nigerians and their papers love lying.


Radio Biafra wrote on their fb page, that none of their engineers was arrested.

Since he can't get a job, Biafra chose to employ him and make him useful.

TO HELL WITH YOU.


YOU CAN'T FORCE PEOPLE TO BE PART OF YOUR ZOO.

IF THEY WANT TO GO LET THEM GO, there is international laws in that regard.

1914-2014
Nigeria expired

U are a deluded fool.
Somebody able to use the internet to access information being scammed by a cheap con artist like Kanu.
Nnamdi Azikiwe,Akanu Ibiam,Ojukwu and other great Ibomen must be turning in their graves seeing few of the kinds of nitwits they left behind.
It was when GEJ succeeded in scamming the SE that it became clear that the SE needs reorientation and total overhaul in kind of leaders it produced because if d likes of GEJ with all his deficiencies in intellect,thought and background could scam its people,then anything is possible.
Nnamdi Kanu just reenforced that belief.
