In compliance with the fine slammed on the Arise TV over fake report, the management of the station has paid the fine through a cheque that surfaced online.
The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) had fine the Television station for airing fake news on the APC Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Recall that Arise TV apologized on Sunday, November 13, after reporting that the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC was investigating Tinubu over alleged criminal forfeiture of money on offences bordering on narcotics and illicit drugs.
INEC, however, reacted stating the doctored statement quoted by the media house did not originate from the electoral body.
