Nigeria "jams" Radio Biafra signal. The Nigeria Govrnment says it has successfully jammed the signals of Biafra Radio, a new channel that has been accused of speading propaganda. The permanent secretary in the Ministry of Information, Shade Yemi-Esan, made this know today(Tuesday). Speaking with journalists at the presidential villa after briefing President Muhammadu Buhari on the activities of her ministry, Ms. Yemi-Esan said the Nigeria Broadcasting Corporation successfully blocked the signals of the radio station. Radio Biafra was floated by some Nigerias in the south east of the country. While its backers say the radio caters for the needs of people from the rigion, 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.
