A Federal High Court, Abuja has asked the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture and the Attorney of the Federation (AGF) to show cause of action over closure of African Independent Television (AIT) and Ray Power.

Justice Inyang Ekwo, summoned the parties to the suit appear before the court and maintain the status quo, pending the determination of the motion ex parte.

This was after listening to counsel to DAAR Communication Plc, Benson Igbanor, who moved the ex parte motion.

Recall that NBC had on Thursday shut down the television and radio state over alleged violation of broadcast code.
