I've never killed anybody in my life ----Wike

By -
(Nigeria) Rivers State governor elect, Mr Nyesom Wike, has denied ever killing anybody or conspiring with any other person whatsoever to kill any person in his life in all his political pursuits, noting that killing of anybody has never and will never form part of his strategy to win any election.
Wike in a statement by Mr Emma Okah, Chairman, Media and Publicity of the PDP Campaign Organisation, Rivers State, was reacting to the allegation of killing made against Wike by the outgoing Governor Chibuike Amaechi.
According to Okah, “People no longer take Amaechi serious. Wike did not need to kill anybody to win the 2015 general elections in the State and wondered why Amaechi who is the Chief Security Officer of the State has kept quiet or refused to press criminal charges against him until Wike is about to be sworn in as governor of Rivers State.”
Okah said Wike has no immunity and wondered what Amaechi is waiting for to prosecute him or anybody he accuses of such a heinous crime if he is to be taken seriously.
“It is shameful for a man to speak loosely like a lunatic the way Amaechi does and we urge him to seek spiritual and medical attention”, Okah opined, noting that no matter how much distractions he causes, he must account for his misdeeds and looting of Rivers State during his tenure as governor.

(Nigeria) The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has been restrained by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, from imposing fines on broadcast stations in the country. Trial judge in the matter, Justice James Omotosho also set aside the N500,000 fines imposed on March 1, 2019, on each of 45 broadcast stations. The court made the orders in its judgment a suit by the Incorporated Trustees of Media Rights Agenda, MRA, which had sued the NBC. Justice Omotosho held that the NBC, not being a court of law, had no power to impose sanctions as punishment on broadcast stations. The court further held that the Nigeria Broadcasting Code, which gives the commission the power to impose sanction, is in conflict with Section 6 of the Constitution that vested judicial power in the court of law. He said the court would not sit idle and watch a body imposing fine arbitrarily without recourse to the law. He said that the commission did not comply with the law when it sat as a complainant and at
