By Channels Television has debunked reports that its Sunrise Daily’s anchors have been arrested, Blackbox Nigeria reports.
Contrary to news making rounds on social media, the entire anchors were only invited for a meeting by the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) in Abuja and they have since returned from that meeting.
Similarly, the Department of State Services (DSS) on Thursday clarified that Channels Television’s invited by the secret service in earlier stories on social media are false and misleading.
DSS spokesman, Peter Afunanya, made the clarification via a statement, warning purveyors of such to stop.
“The attention of the DSS has been drawn to news making the rounds in some sections of the media that its operatives earlier today (26th August, 2021) arrested two (2) journalists of Channels Television. This is false and misleading. Fake news peddlers should shun the act,” the statement read.
Blackbox Nigeria reported earlier that the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), on Thursday queried Channels Television over it’s interview with Samuel Ortom.
While appearing as a guest on Sunrise Daily on Tuesday, the governor accused President Muhammadu Buhari of trying to “Fulanise” Nigeria.
Hence, the NBC queried the television station in a seven paragraph letter.
