I have taken out time to read the law which the NBC relied on in suspending @AIT_Online and I've realized that yet again, this government shot themselves in the foot.

A THREAD!!!
NBC relied on the Nigerian Broadcasting Code 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 to shut down AIT. Before we get to the legality or other wise of this action, let us see what the Code provided.

PS; take note of the side notes
I assume most of us have read the resport as to why @AIT_Online was suspended. If you have not done so, take out time to read it here.

#AITUnderSiege There are too many uninformed people on this app. People who came into existence in 2015..

NBC warned AIT about violating the broadcasting code and cited examples. The NBC broadcasting code was not written by Buhari. It was first drafted in 1993..
#AITUnderSiege and amended in 1996, 2002, 2006, 2012 and 2016.

Freedom anywhere in the world does not equate foolishness. AIT can proceed to court to challenge the case.

AIT's office was raided in 2006 by the police over OBJ's third term story..
#AITUnderSiege Without any warning from NBC, Gbenga Aruleba of AIT was charged with sedition and locked up. Some of you were too young to even know what happened back then.
