Broadcasting Commission [NBC] that it had successfully blocked the
illegal Radio Biafra from operating and consequent seizure of its
transmission equipment in some parts of South-East zone as well as
some arrests made.
Although police authorities in Enugu State claimed ignorance of any
arrest, it was reliably gathered that an engineer working for the
station based in Enugu had been picked up by men of the Department of
State Security DSS and taken to Abuja.
Residents in the State are however confused because some of the ardent
listeners to the station claimed that the station was still operating
in skeletal form.
State police command's spokesman Mr. Ebere Amaraizu told our reporter
last night "I am not aware of the arrest and parading of the Radio
Biafra suspects. Not to my knowledge", he stated.
NBC's Director General, Emeka Mba had said in Abuja last week that "we
are working with security operatives, the Commission has also tracked
down, neutralized and confiscated transmitter equipment from several
locations in the region.
