The federal government has successfully jammed the signals of Biafra Radio, a new channel that has been accused of spreading propaganda, permanent secretary in the Ministry of Information, Shade Yemi-Esan, said on Tuesday.   

Radio Biafra was floated by some Nigerians in the south east of the country. While its backers say the radio caters for the needs of people from the region, the network is also known from propagating the ideology of the former secessionist Republic of Biafra.

“Right now the signals from radio Biafra have been jammed successfully by the NBC,” Ms. Yemi-Esan said.

“The commission is also working with security agencies to get those that are behind that radio because it is an illegal radio, it is not licensed by anybody to be on the airwaves in Nigeria,” she said.
