Our Employees Were Not Arrested – Channels Television

• The FG had sanctioned the TV station for airing what it described as anti-government interviews

The management of Channels Television has said that none of the anchors of its flagship programme, Sunrise Daily, was arrested contrary to reports making the rounds on social media.

The media outfit said although the TV presenters were invited to a meeting with National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) but have since returned.

“Contrary to the news on social media that our Sunrise Daily’s anchors have been arrested, this is just to clarify that no such arrest was made.

” But the entire anchors were invited for a meeting by the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) in Abuja and they have since returned from that meeting,” it said.

Similarly, the Department of State Services (DSS) on Thursday clarified that Channels Television’s invited by the secret service in earlier stories on social media are false and misleading.

DSS spokesman, Peter Afunanya, made the clarification via a statement, warning purveyors of such to stop.

“The attention of the DSS has been drawn to news making the rounds in some sections of the media that its operatives earlier today (26th August, 2021) arrested two (2) journalists of Channels Television. This is false and misleading. Fake news peddlers should shun the act,” the statement read.
