The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has ordered the immediate closure of Ekiti Broadcasting Service for allegedly breaching provisions of the Broadcasting Code.

The Commission has said it took the decision to curb the continued breach of the Electoral Act and the Broadcasting Code on Political Broadcast.

A statement by the commission said it was particularly irked by the unauthorized declaration of results by the state Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, in the state broadcast station.

This is after he went on air to make malicious and unsubstantiated comments against INEC, the Police and the SSS.

It said the station will remain shut down until further notice.
