Gunmen suspected to be political thugs have attacked a popular Radio Station, Wish FM 99.5 and the Atlantic Television Network in Ozuoba, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The broadcasting stations were bombed with explosive devices suspected to be dynamite on Tuesday night, even as sporadic gunshots filtered the air.
Both Wish FM 99.5 and Atlantic Television Network are owned by a member of the House of Representatives, Chinyere Igwe, said to be a strong supporter of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
The incident, which occurred around 8:40pm, led to the destruction of some equipment and property in the facility which houses the two broadcast stations.
Igwe confirmed the attack on Wednesday, just as he was excited that no life was lost during the incident.
But the spokesperson for the state police command, Grace Iringe-Koko, said that she was yet to receive a report of the incident.
She promised to make the details of the incident public as soon as she received the report.
