Fire Raze Down Three Radio Stations In Abia (Photos)
A popular radio station in Abia, Enyimba 94.3fm, and its sister stations, Legend 98.3fm, and Rose 101.9fm Aba have shut down operations following attack by arsonists on Saturday, ABN TV reports.
The management in a statement on Sunday said the stations were targeted for fire attacks.
It said the staff members were unhurt arising from the incident which happened the same day local government elections were held across the 17 local government areas in Abia.
“As a way of exercising caution, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily shut down operations across all three stations.
“This will enable us to assess the damage, and carry out precautionary measures in order to emerge stronger and better”, the management said in a statement.
The management of Emyimba TV and Radio Ltd also expressed gratitude for the swift response and assistance from its community, which it said helped bring the fire under control.
“We will keep you updated on our progress and look forward to returning to the airwaves soon”, it stated
