According to a deputy director of the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC), the invitation is to enable the commission to know the circumstances of the situation that led to the Presenter of the Brekete Family show on Human Rights Radio to assault a woman accused of setting ng her niece on fire.
“As a regulatory body for the broadcast media, the NBC cannot overlook this,” he said.
“Broadcasting should guarantee fairness for all citizens and a broadcaster should grant a right of reply to every citizen before passing judgment.
“That is why the commission decided to send a letter of invitation to the CEO of Human Rights Radio and the anchor of the popular ‘Brekete Family’ radio programme, Ahmed Isah, to come to NBC and explain the circumstances surrounding his actions.’’
