A major
accomplice of rogue broadcaster Radio Biafra, an engineer based in Enugu
has been apprehended by the Department of State Security operatives.
The suspect as Daily Sun exclusively gathered yesterday was being
transported to Abuja as at Press time of filling this report. It is believed that the Enugu-based accomplice assisted the main radio
pirate in London by placing not so large equipment on abandoned NITEL
transmission polls and a few transmitters owned by other mobile telecom
providers.
This is even as the Director-Genera
The Permanent Secretary, Federal
Ministry of Information, Shade Yemi-Esan, had on Wednesday told State
House Correspondents after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari
that NBC had successfully jammed the signals of station.
He denied the rumor that the commission was slow at clamping down on the station which he described as broadcasting nonsensical garbage. The NBC had to “catch the station in the act” before taking action.
He said: “When they were broadcasting on the internet it was not much an issue, until they started appropriating FM frequencies in various cities across the South East and it became for us an urgent national security matter. We had to trace them. They are using more sophisticated equipment and we had to upgrade our own equipment to track them. To be honest it was difficult dealing with them because they are on satellite and while we are able to neutralise the terrestrial frequencies on the FM band, satellite is very a different thing, and they are outside Nigeria where you have different protocols with how you deal with this issue. They also online and you know how difficult it is to deal with this kind of thing online.
“But then again they are as using what we call frequency agile transmitters through which they hop from one frequency to another. So once you block them in one frequency, they move to another. So what we have done is to upgrade our capacity to follow and block them where ever they are transmitting. To give you and instance, they were transmitting through 104.7 FM Enugu yesterday (Wednesday), they moved to 102.1 FM Enugu and we also jammed it. This is why it is more important for us to catch them than the process of jamming.
“I can assure everyone that these people will be caught and we will support the security agencies to ensure that they face the full wrath of the law. It is no longer a matter of running a pirate station. It is now a matter of subverting the state. There is a possibility of it becoming a matter of sedition as some of the content of the broadcast is declaring war on Nigeria. Our job at the NBC is to use our technical capacity to ensure that we are able to neutralise them wherever they crop up. I am confident that before the end of today we should be able to take them off satellite. This will deal a major blow to their ability to send signal to Nigeria from where they are based abroad.

@Ifunanya
& gilbert: it won't make any sense if you begin to bring sentiments
into this. I don't know your age, did you witness Nigeria civil war? if
you did, do you want history to repeat itself? Besides, majority of
Igbos are not in support of Biafra Republic, the only elements doing
this are just a fraction or group of persons who wants to forment
trouble. real Igbos want peace and believe in the Nigerian Nation. Let
me tell you,Biafra can never be actualized, Nigerian forces are 300%
higher than that of Biafra since 1960s to date. So the fight is
meaningless and i beg you all to preach peace, don't hate me or any
other Nigerian, we are all one. please

you are my friend. I am a bonafide Igbo man but I am against the
actualisation of Biafra due to some reasons nevertheless I am against
your statement that Biafra will never be actualised. It will someday but
not in our generation.

. . . All i get to tell u. Is that there is now way we stand as one
nigeria, the words one nigeria is an illusion, becos one nigeria didn't
exit in practical. . Each tribe in nigeria have that mentality of
tribalisim. . . I do know blood of igbo's killed during the civil war
will never rest until biafra is actualized
Brown Ogba
@Endy why are taking dis issue personal? pls grow up,Biafra will be actualize soon nd the haters can go to hell
Akinlotan Omotayo Taiwo
Juliet what an irony! You want a Biara and you refuse to locate to your Igboland .I agree you want a new nation call
Akinlotan Omotayo Taiwo
Because
you want a new nation does not mean you should derogate the government
in power.Even moses that led the israelite to promise land stayed out of
Egypt all through the event
Gilbert Igweka Nwanorim
@Endy,
You made mention of majority of Igbos being against Biafra. Look let me
tell you,those people who you feel are against Biafra are not
igbos,moreover they are fighting for their selfish interest in the zoo!
so be aware!
