Broadcasting license of the Wazobia FM, Kano State, North West Nigeria has been revoked with immediate effect.
According to a source working with the station in Kano, at about 4:45PM on Friday, a circular from the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission, NBC was received banning all broadcasting operation of the station in Kano.
“Although NBC has not given us any reason for revoking our license, but I’m sure this may not be unconnected with the recent controversy regarding our Hausa programme Sandar Girma which was said to have incited the killing of nine female health workers in the state,” the source said.
All effort to get in touch with the representatives of NBC in Kano was not successful, however all broadcasting operations in Wazobia FM has been interrupted.
The newly established station came with a critical analysis of political activities in the politically sensitive Kano state which many politicians including the leadership of the state frown at.
