FG Jams Radio Biafra Transmission Signal, Operators Says it a lie

The Federal Government said on Tuesday that it had succeeded in jamming the transmission signals of Radio Biafra, which had been operating illegally from an unknown location.
Dr Yemi Folasade-Esan, the Permanent Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Information, stated this while speaking with State House correspondents after he had briefed President
Muhammadu Buhari on the activities of the ministry.
Folasade-Esan said that Buhari was adequately briefed on the activities of the illegal radio station and the successful blocking of its transmission signals.
“We also gave a report on (Radio Biafra) that right now, the signals from Radio Biafra have been jammed. The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has successfully jammed that.
“The NBC is also working with security operatives to get those behind that radio because it is an illegal radio. It is not licensed by anybody to be on Nigeria’s airwaves.“
The permanent secretary disclosed that she also briefed the President on the activities of the nine parastatals and agencies under the ministry as well as the Federal Information Centres in the states of the federation.
 But in a swift response , Radio Biafra wrote on Twitter that the NBC lied . “ NBC lied to their master . Radio Biafra is live in BiafraLand . They cannot even ban our local station , do they even know we also transmit via satellite and online as well. ”
