He also said some staff of the station were still sleeping when the invaders came and that some of them are yet to be found.
He said “That is what we witnessed this morning. They hijacked the station around 6 am. 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,”
Another source while describing what transpired said that the station has now gone off the air.
Confirming the development, the General Manager of the station, Mr. Stephen Agbaje, said the report is true but added that the situation has been brought under control after security agencies were invited.
He went on to say that some arrests have been made.
“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,” Agbaje said.
