Why Buhari suspended NBC DG, Modibbo Kawu

The Director-General of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Mr Modibbo Kawu, has been suspended on the directive of President Muhammadu Buhari.

This development comes months after the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) arraigned the NBC DG on corruption charges.

Sources at the NBC confirmed the news to journalists revealing that the most senior director in the commission has been directed to take over from the suspended DG.

“As you are aware, he is being prosecuted by the ICPC for alleged corruption,” one of the sources said.
