A statement by the commission says truck loads of confiscated exhibits worth N1.4 Billion from concluded anti-piracy cases in the Kaduna Liaison Office were burnt last month.
The burning exercise was carried out on October 22, 2015 ‘after due approvals and consultation with relevant agencies and stakeholders.’
The Director General of the Commission, Afam Ezekude, Directors A.T. Kohol, Augustine Amodu and Bitrus Dauda as well as representatives from relevant regions and government agencies were part of the exercise, according to information obtained by NET from the NCC website.
In 2014, NCC also arrested 4 persons suspected of involvement in intellectual property theft of broadcast signals belonging to Multichoice Nigeria in different outlets located in Enugu State and impounded N30million worth of broadcast materials.
