May 28, (THEWILL) – Some suspected members of the Yoruba Nation agitators, on Sunday, took over a radio station, Amuludun 99.1 FM, in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State.
Amuludun FM is a community station owned by the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN).
A staff member of the station said the suspects invaded the station with various forms of charms at about 5am on Sunday.
“That is what we witnessed this morning. They hijacked the station around 6am but they had been at the station before that time. They came with various forms of charms. They woke our staff, who were sleeping. Some of our staff have fled. We are yet to see some of our staff. But the security [personnel] are on ground now,” the source said.
The General Manager of the station, Stephen Agbaje, who confirmed the development, however, said the situation has been brought under control by the security agencies.
“Some group of agitators came around in the night, and took over the station, but the situation has been brought under control by the security agents. They were able to recover the station, and some arrests have been made,” he said.
