Some members of the Yoruba Nation agitators on Sunday allegedly took over the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria’s Amuludun 99.1 FM in Ibadan.
“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,” the staff said.
Another source said that the station has gone off the air.
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.
