The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has fined Arise Television N2 million over a fake report about the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu.
The TV station had aired a report that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was investigating Tinubu’s alleged crime bordering on narcotics and illicit drugs.
A statement purportedly issued by the INEC had gone viral on social media but the electoral body, on Saturday debunked the report, saying it was the handiwork of mischief makers.
Arise TV had on Sunday apologised to Tinubu and INEC for misleading the general public.
