The National Broadcasting Station (NBC) has sanctioned three major broadcast stations over their alleged roles in escalation of violence across the nation.
The regulators fined Arise TV, African Independent Television (AIT) and Channels Television between N2million and N3million.
The stations were accused of airing unverified images of the alleged shooting.
The protest, which began on a peaceful note has since gone violence, with many states experience wanton destructions and looting of public and private properties.
NBC Acting Director-General, Prof Armstrong Idachaba, disclosed this at a press conference in Abuja on Monday.
Idachaba said the affected media houses were fined N3,000,000 each for flouting the provisions of the Nigerian broadcasting code.
He warned that any station that continued to broadcast hate and inciting comments that threaten the security of the country would be shut down.
