Vandals Attack Radio Nigeria Kwara Station, Cart Away Property Worth Millions

Properties worth millions of naira were carted away by vandals who attacked the Radio Nigeria, Harmony FM, located at Idofian, in the Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State on Tuesday.

According to one of the Radio Station’s staff, Mr. Ibrahim Uche, this brazen and dastardly act of sabotage occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m., leaving the Radio Station in a state of quagmire and disarray.

The perpetrators were said to have targeted the Station’s vital in-comer armoured cables connected to the transformer, ruthlessly dismantling and making away with the cables.

It was gathered that the station’s staff on duty, including the security guard, were overpowered and restrained by the assailants to enable them to execute their nefarious mission.

This unfortunate incident adds to a growing list of similar attacks on Stations under the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, with Prime FM Lokoja and Precious FM Lafia suffering similar fates in the recent past

Speaking with newsmen in Ilorin, Assistant Director, Programmes in the station, Hajia Binta Abubakar-Mora disclosed that the armoured cables vandalized worth millions of naira with the Station now off air

She however appealed for assistance from the State Government to get the Station back on air.
