AIT barred from covering Gen. Buhari's activities

The staff of the Africa Independent Television AIT have been barred from covering all activities of the president elect until issues of ethic and standards levied against them are resolved.
 The Ait crew were escorted out of the Defence premises where Gen. Buhari presently resides. This occured when the president elect was about to have meetings with Switzerland and Cuban ambassadors, speaking on the development, Buhari's spokesperson, Shehu Garba said it was due to security and family issues.


"AIT has been asked to step aside based on security and family concerns. In addition, Buhari has decided that they will have to resolve some issues relating to issues of standard and ethics. We will be talking with them to try and resolve the matter, but for now the station has been asked to stay aside because, like I said, there are some family and security concerns.
They have been asked to step down their coverage until we resolve the matter with them on ethics and standards. You can quote me that I said that we have asked them to step aside and that we are resolving the the issues of ethics and standards with them.”he said
