The sanction according to the Acting Director-General, DG of the commission, Armstrong Idachaba, will be a fine of not less than 2 million Naira.
He says that this will be the last warning before a heavier sanction will be introduced.
The DG also announced that DAAR Communications will be fined separately for using an unverifiable news item on the fire incident at the National Christian Centre.
It noted the retraction by the station but says that there must be consequences.
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.
