media houses

In lieu of the detailed reportage on Terrorism in Nigeria which had been recently released by some media houses, the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) and Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development (CJID) have slammed a lawsuit against President Muhammadu Buhari, urging the court to “declare arbitrary and illegal the N5million which had been imposed on Multichoice Nigeria Limited, Trust TV, NTA-Startimes Limited and Telccom Satellite Limited, over their documentaries on terrorism in the country.”

Joined in the suit as defendants are also Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture, and the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC).
