The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) slammed a fine of N2 million on Arise Television over a fake report about the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, APC, Bola Tinubu.

The TV station earlier reported that the Independent National Broadcasting Commission (INEC) was investigating Tinubu’s alleged crime bordering on narcotics and illicit drugs.

A statement purportedly issued by the INEC had gone viral on social media, but the electoral body, on Saturday, debunked the report, saying it was a handiwork of mischief.

Arise TV had on Sunday apologized to Tinubu and INEC for misleading the general public.

According to The Nation, the television station was fined N2m for breaching the broadcasting code.
