A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered Daar Communications Plc’s AIT/Raypower stations and National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, to maintain status quo pending a hearing slated for June 13, 2019.

Justice Inyang Ekwo ordered Raypower and AIT to return to operation pending when NBC will defend its reasons for suspending the broadcasting company.

The NBC had Thursday suspended the operating license of the Daar Communications PLC, operator of AIT and Ray Power over alleged breach of the NBC’s broadcasting code.

NBC claimed the management of Daar Communications Plc’s AIT/Raypower stations had been warned several times about breaches of broadcasting regulations but did not flinch.
