BEVERLY HILLS, July 15, (THEWILL) – The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has shut the Ekiti State government owned broadcasting service, EBS, with immediate effect for breaching provisions of the Broadcasting Code.

The NBC said the station breached the Electoral Act and Broadcasting Code by allowing Governor Ayodele Fayose declare fake results of the Ekiti governorship election in favour of his deputy and candidate of the PDP, Kolapo Olusola.

The NBC also accused the governor of using the broadcast service to make malicious and unsubstantiated comments against the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC), the police and the Department of State Services.
