NBC sanctions AIT, Channels, Arise over Lekki shooting

The National Broadcasting Station (NBC) has sanctioned three major broadcast stations over their alleged roles in ''escalation'' of violence across the nation . 

The regulators fined Arise TV, African Independent Television (AIT) and Channels Television between N2million and N3million.  

The stations were accused of airing unverified images of the alleged shooting. 

 The protest, which began on a peaceful note has since been hijacked by hoodlums destroying and looting both Government and Private properties and has now been suspended.
