A lecturer at the University of Abuja, Dr Adinoyi Ojo Onukaba, has condemned the recent bombing of Tao FM radio station in Okene, Kogi State, describing it as an attempt to silence the voice of the people.
Onukaba said in a statement, yesterday, that since it started operation about three years ago, Tao FM has been a powerful medium through which the people of Kogi Central Senatorial District shared news and information about their community and the rest of Nigeria.
“It has created a vibrant, committed and united community of listeners”, he said. Onukaba, a former managing director of the Daily Times and media adviser to former vice president Atiku Abubakar, called on the Kogi State Government and security agencies to arrest and prosecute the perpetrators of the crime.
