Channels TV On The Spot As DSS Invites Na`Abba

Channels Television was on focus for sanctions at the weekend after the Department of State Services, DSS invited a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ghali Umar Na’aba, for questioning on Monday.

The invitation was sequel to an interview he had with Channels last Thursday GWG learnt.

The focus on Channels follows the apparent clampdown on the media following the administration’s use of the new broadcast code enunciated by the government to attack what it describes as hate speech.

Nigeria Info became the first broadcast station to be hit by the new regime when the National Broadcasting Commission, NBC fined it N5 million for an interview where the interviewee, Dr. Obadiah Mailafia picked holes in the government security set up.

The invitation was made known in a press statement by its Head (Public Affairs Bureau) and former presidential candidate of the National Conscience Party, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, entitled: “News Flash: DSS Invites NCFront leader and former Speaker, Ghali Umar Na’aba.”

He said:

“Distinguished Compatriots! Please be notified that the DSS on Friday sent an invitation to NCFront Co-Chair and former Speaker of (the House of Representatives) Nigeria, Rt Hon. Ghali Umar Na’aba after his very profound interview on Channels Television on Thursday in regard to the agenda of the NCFront to bring about a new Nigeria.

“However, our leader, Ghali Umar Na’aba has decided to honour the DSS invitation and therefore shall be visiting the DSS Headquarters in Abuja on Monday at 12noon.

“All NCFront Organs, Structures and Allies nationwide are, by this notice, put on the alert as “eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.”
