People suspected of being members of the Yoruba Nation agitators reportedly hijacked Amuludun 99.1 FM in Ibadan in the early hours of Sunday.

The radio station, according to some staff who spoke with our correspondent, was hijacked around 6 am on Sunday.

Amuludun FM is a community station owned by the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN).

A staff member of the station informed our correspondent that the suspects invaded the station with various forms of charms.

“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,” he said.
