Maybe i am wrong BUT This doesnt make sense. NBC is a regulating commission, it should have power to be able to sanction erring broadcasting organisation without having to rely on the judiciary.

Instead it is the broadcasting organisation that should file a case at the court if they are not satisfy with the sanctions imposed on them.

it will not make sense to a terrorist supporter

Hehe

Good one from the judiciary. NBC has been muzzling the press for long. Lai and those involved should hide their face in shame!

What a complete waste of time

Long awaited.

Many times they impose illegal fines without fair hearing .

An organisation that is headed by a political nominee of the ruling party ,which is also controlled by the ministry of information, should never be given such powers without recourse to the court of law. That can only lead to tyranny and suppression of press freedom.

It is more like telling LASTMA, ROAD SAFETY and other precautionary and regulating agency to seek court intervention before impounding your vehicle for going against the law.

I stopped reading after your first paragraph.

Yes. You're wrong. You're always wrong

The judgement cannot stand. NBC has the total power to sanction any broadcast station. However if the station feels the sanction isn't right,they can sue the NBC to appeal the sanction. But saying the NBC can't sanction is total bullshit

Likewise saying the NCC can't sanction MTN and others..

It doesn't make sense, that arbitrary fine flying up and down for no reason. Like the one that Bayo Onanuga has to complain to NBC to sanction ChannelTV for allowing its station to be use to commit treason, whereas what Datti said is within his constitutional right to freedom of speech and expression.
Funnily, you fine the station but you didn't sue the person you claimed said wrong thing. Nonsense!

You are wrong...

Because when you want to abuse power is when the judiciary is allowed to get involved

When VIO feels they have power and wish to extort you even when you have all your documents complete then you have the right to sue.

Incase you're thinking of using datti on channels tv just throw it away. Because channels didnt tell datti to utter those words

They should go after datti instead of channels

So the judge is also saying that if a doctor for example commits a professional offence, MDCN, the constitutionally recognised regulatory agency saddled with the responsibility to discipline doctors should sue the doctor to court.

Na waah.

LIAR mohammed and his oppressive, despotic, dictatorial cohorts in the mud!

You are wrong. Didn't you see where the judge said it's the concentration of too much power in an agency being the same person who will say a station committed an offense and then imposed the fine?
The reason why the FRSC now uses mobile courts is because of a court ruling such as this. If the police caught armed robbers, do you know they take the suspects to court for trial before a sentence is imposed?

Universities, therefore, have no right to rusticate you without recourse to court judgements. Cultists right now...

Good one

Thank God you typed this. Court cases should be means for seeking review of sanctions by media houses not an intervention place for the regulatory body.

If VIO impounded my vehicle and i am not certified. I take them to court.

But if VIO is to take me to court before sanctioning me for doing what is wrong. Then there is problem. It is an open-invitation to misconduct.

Lol. It is the court trying to have more powers, brother. NBC is a regulatory body. That is its main work.

If anybody is not satisfy with the sanctions, then go and tender your argument as the court.

Not the other way round.

Court process takes to long. We all know NBC is the only thing holding this mischievous and overly sentimental media houses by the balls and checkmating their excesses. If not, journalism would have been an insane crazy affair in this country.

Werey Batified nutheads this goes beyond politics o foolish one. Think with your senses. O I forgot you don't have one

Our judiciary is waking up

Our Judiciary is waking up?

What the hell is wrong with you people.

A President is ineligible for contesting and he did that with all illegal means possible.

Yet this same Judiciary keep throwing out the window every evidence to prosecute this nigga and you come here to say they are waking up.

SMH

Even if NBC can sanction, what is the brainer there. You sanction a station for allowing its broadcasting to air programme inimical to the peace of the nation but never for once sue the person that made words or issue you sanction the broadcasting station. Is there any sense in that? Meaning that sanction or fine is bias.
Taking for example, you fine ChannelTV for allowing Datti to make words that can trigger unrest in the nation but you leave Datti to go Scot free. If truly what Datti said was against any known law, he should have been taken to court also. Most of their fines is tantamount to shaving one head and leave the other. Shame!

You waited until now . Useless judges

But the customs, the road safety, the quarantine and the rest have the power to impose fines when people break their laws? How constitutional is the EFCC power break into people's home and privacy and cart people away like contraband goods in the name of sting ? So now, the NMA, the NBA , the ICAN when their respective members break rules attached to operation and membership of the their bodies.

I tell u don't be surprised the will rush to Appeal court

Lol! It's lawyer season to chop. Politicians don chop their own

I am not a fan of NBC. However, I think this judge interpretation of the law get K leg. Even in western countries ministries and and agencies impose fines. If the company feels the fine is unjust, they can go to court for the court to arbitrate.
May be this is just fake news. otherwise going by the logic you can not be issued with parking or driving violations unless you go to court.

"Between 1990 and 2004, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued fines totaling $2.5 million to radio licensees for airing material it deemed indecent from The Howard Stern Show, the highest amount of any American radio show."

"The federal banking agencies, including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, also have the authority to impose civil penalties for violations of U.S. sanctions laws and regulations."

The court is not fully taking away their right.

What they mean is that their sanctions must be reviewed first so that they dont think they can have monopoly of madness to just do as they like.

I gave you an example of datti and channels tv. That fine was uncalled for..but because it dosent affect you or your camp you're now displeased...no be so oo

You are wrong. The media is secured by the constitution as a powerful check to government.

Any backyard law to stifle the media without a trial by court is null.

If the NBC feels that the media has broken the law, they should let the judge decide. Dishing out fines because the truth is not pleasing is an aberration to free speech and anyone can draw up any trivial reason to fine the media and control narratives.

The NBC cannot be a judge, jury and executioner in matters that they're a party in. Even LASTMA, Road safety etc takes people to court when they voilate rules before impounding vehicles.
