A lot of things are happening fast in the country due to the confusion and controversies being generated by worsening insecurity.

Activist and ‘Sahara Reporters’ Publisher, Omoyele Sowore, and some other people, are said to be at the office of the National Broadcasting Commission in Abuja, protesting against the invitation of reporters of Channels TV journalists, which the commission has summoned based on a programme in which they hosted Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom.

Usoh, Okikiolu and two other anchors of the TV’s ‘Sunrise Daily’ breakfast programme were invited to the Abuja office of the regulator on Thursday over some comments made against the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) by two guests on the programme this week.

The NBC, it was gathered, is not comfortable with an interview granted the private television station by the Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, who said he was disappointed with the way the Presidency is handling the nation’s security challenges.

It was also gathered that the commission is not comfortable with an interview granted by a former Navy Commodore, Kunle Olawunmi, who alleged that current members of the Buhari cabinet are Boko Haram sponsors.
