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 is more like telling LASTMA, ROAD SAFETY or other precautionary and regulating agency to seek court intervention before impounding your vehicle for going against the law or NCC trying to seek court intervention before imposing sanctions on erring network providers.

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.

You sound like one of the useless dictators running the affairs of this country. God will bless the court for putting an end to this rascality and madness of NBC. God will bless the judge that delivered that landmark judgement. NBC and Liar Mohammed should ASAP return all the fines they collected from broadcast stations.

Until NBC sanctions NTA that covers Binani declaration as governor elect, this your argument will hold any water.
Besides, it's the media houses that took them to court to checkmate it's madness.

NBC should regulate and not kill broadcast stations in the country. I work with a radio station and you will not believe that they always bring warning and sanction letters to my office every week. And the painful part of it is that their useless fine is too high. All they (NBC) want is for us to sing the 'praise' of APC government.

IfnobeGod20:
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!

I'm not supporting the NBC. Just stating the facts about the law establishing the NBC.

The NBC cannot arrest nor take Datti to court nor sanction datti as he is an individual. They can only sue the station or even shut it down. They cannot sue Datti as an Individual

Now,if channels believe NBC is wrong, they can contest the 5Million fine and the court can say otherwise

I share your sentiments!
1. NBC should appeal the judgment!
2. The NBC could go semi-nuclear by suspending broadcasting licenses of erring broadcasting stations for a year or more than and finally, license revocation to serve as a stiff deterrence. They are vested with the power to issue licenses and also to revoke!

I think you're misconstruing the whole thing and your illustration is not what the court is saying. The court didn't say you cannot arrest or place embargo on erring broadcasting station but placing burden of fine on them is what the court frown at. For example, police can arrest any offender but it is the court that place burden on them. If the NBC what to place burden on offenders, then their fine must be a product of legislation, just like the FRSC that have mobile court.
If my memory can serve me right, I think there was a court case last year that frown at fine imposed by LASTMA to offenders. I was able to get the link to the court news. Please see below:
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.thecable.ng/court-says-lastma-lacks-power-to-impose-fines-tow-vehicles/amp&ved=2ahUKEwiRwszO4ur-AhWnRUEAHVJ0AO4QFnoECBEQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1vifRTJOZisaaM_j3CFCQz

Below is an excerpt from the news.
"In his decision, Justice Olalekan Oresanya held that it was unconstitutional for LASTMA to impose fines and tow vehicles of an alleged traffic offender without a valid court order. He also awarded damages of N750, 000 against LASTMA in favour of the plaintiff".

The arbitrary fines imposed doesn't make sense at all. You fine broadcasting station but leave the culprit. Someone will go to a station to make a statement but it is the station that will be sanction, forgetting that it takes two to tangle.

If NBC want to impose fine, let them legislate it to have the backing of the law, not this hand make rules.

Jesus Christ is God’s only provision for our sin. Through Him we can know and experience God’s love and plan for our life.

He shouldn't even stop there, all other regulatory bodies should be declared
illegal too because they are not a court.

Each time an infraction is discovered, they should first ask the court if they
can investigate, then after that ask the court if they can impose fine on the
erring body.

The real question is....does LASTMA, ROAD SAFETY truly have the power to impound and impose fines on Nigerians?

Nigerians are just taking these things lying down because going to Court is expensive and consume a lot of time. Until a Court of Competent jurisdiction has adjudicate on these questions, it is premature to conclude that these agencies despite what they do everyday truly have such powers.

A Federal High Court had previous ruled against FRSC that they do not have the power to impose fines and that court followed the same logic as above that, they must pass through the Court to be able to do so and that, they cannot be Judge and Jury in their own case.

https://www.icirnigeria.org/court-rules-against-imposition-of-fine-by-frsc-for-offences/

Gradually, Nigerians are fighting back and one block at a time the system seems to be sanitizing itself....Impunity can not run amok forever.

Bro. We both leave in this country. We all know the reason why we stubborn citizen use seat belt, avoid over speeding is not really because of our lives but because of money we will have to pay to road safety if caught.

Imagine Road safety having to drag everyone to court before sanctions are imposed. That will be disastrous. Court cases take time. People will feel confident to break the law and the Road safety will feel very tired even checkmating this thing.

That judgement is delivered per incuriam.

As long as the NBC Act has empowered it to regulate the industry - it cannot have recourse to the court and enforcemenft agencies every time it wants to investigate noncompliance, impose sanctions and exercise its function.

That’s a rubbish judgement and should be upturned on appeal.

If any law is inconsistent with the constitution, the constitution shall prevail, and that law shall to the extent of it's inconsistency be void!! NBC is clearly violating freedom of speech as enshrined in our constitution. Period!!!
