The NationalBroadcasting Commission, NBC has said Daar Communications Plc’s stations;Africa Independent Television and Raypower 100.5FM have begun breaching thebroadcasting code again.
The commission, whichshut down the stations on Thursday for alleged breach of the broadcasting code,was forced to lift the suspension on Friday following a court order.
The suspensionelicited harsh criticisms from rights groups including Amnesty International.
Many believed that the founder of Daar Communications Plc, Raymond Dokpesi, who is a chieftain of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, was being victimised by the Director General of the NBC, Kawu Modibbo who is a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Although the suspension was lifted on Friday, policemen and operatives of the Department of State Services laid siege to the premises of the company on Saturday.
