A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, FEMI FALANA has described the 5million naira fine on a Lagos-based radio station by the National Broadcasting Commission as illegal.

The Human Rights Lawyer said this in a statement he personally signed and wondered why the NBC will be in a hurry to penalise the radio station

According to him, it is only a competent court of law that has the right to impose fines on a criminal suspect after conducting a trial.

The NBC had said the fine was imposed on the media outfit due to its unprofessional broadcast.
