AIT back on air after a Federal High Court order

A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the reopening of African Independent Television (AIT) and Ray Power FM.

This comes after Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court Abuja, earlier today gave an order that the NBC should maintain status quo and allow the media stations air their programmes without any further hinderance.

Recall that the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) had on Thursday, June 6, announced the suspension of the licences of AIT and Ray Power belonging to the Daar Communications Limited.

The NBC director-general, Modibbo Kawu, stated this at a press briefing in Abuja, saying the media houses’ shutdown was until further notice.

Twenty four hours after its license was withdrawn, AIT is back on air.
