Five suspected Oodua Nation Agitators who reportedly hijacked a local radio station, Amuludun 99.1 FM in Ibadan, Oyo State, in the early hours of yesterday have been arrested.
According to reports, the radio station, owned by the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN), was hijacked around 6 am yesterday.
The suspects reportedly invaded the station with various forms of charms. The alleged agitators took over the station and broadcasted live.
Among their claims included: “Oodua Nation has come to stay”; “Yoruba no more under Federal Republic of Nigeria”; “United Nation will soon declare Oodua Nation”, among others.
The station’s General Manager, Stephen Agbaje, confirmed the development to newsmen.
Agbaje said “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 added.
