A Federal High Court in Abuja has reversed the withdrawal of operating
licence of the Daar Communications PLC over alleged breach of
broadcasting code. Justice Inyang Ekwo on Friday ordered the National
Broadcasting Commission (NBC), the Federal Ministry of Information and
Culture, the Attorney General of the Federation to revert back to state
of affairs before May 30, 2019.
Justice Ekwo asked the parties to
appear before the court on Thursday, June 13 to show cause why the
motion on notice challenging the action of the regulatory agency should
not be granted. In an ex parte application brought by its lawyer, Mike
Ozekhome (SAN), Daar PLC operators of African Independent Television
(AIT), Raypower FM, Faaji FM and Daarsat had on Thursday asked the court
to order status quo ante bellum pending the determination of the main
suit. ADVERTISEMENT The NBC had in a letter dated May 27, 2019 accused
Daar of breaching the Nigeria’s Broadcasting Code with its Kakaaki and
other programmes and subsequently withdrew its licence. In the suit
against the NBC, the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, the
Attorney General of the Federation, Daar claimed that it had since the
licence of its television and radio stations been conducting its
operations in line with Section 22 of the 1999 Constitution. It
therefore asks the court to make an order “restraining the defendants
from blocking, jamming, stopping removing from air and/or interfering
with the air waves of the plaintiff/applicant (Daar Plc) in any way and
manner however called from invading the premises of the
plaintiff/applicant (Daar Plc) or closing down, viet armis, the said
premises, its operations or broadcast services, pending the hearing and
determination of the motion on notice filed along with this
application.” Enumerating grounds for the action, Daar Plc said the
defendants had on April 16 in a Gestapo-style invaded its premises and
pulled down two buildings and gates leading to its operational office in
Asokoro, Abuja worth millions of naira. Related Licence withdrawal: AIT
