The .BB and .EB are markers for a conditional block (as documented slightly
earlier in Chap 9) and you have to put a logical test after the .BB

However You don't need a logical test or a .BB/.EB  I would suggest you put a
.fo off and also a separation line between you banner and the message like this:

>>> BOTTOM_BANNER
.ce ********************
.fo off
