Thugs on reprisal attack Radio Nigeria Ibadan

Some armed hoodlums have invaded the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, Moniya, Ibadan and vandalised vehicles, some glass doors, and windows of the media house.

It was gathered that the media house located in the Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State came under attack from the hoodlums following the earlier raid carried out on the hideout of some criminals around Sasa area on Saturday.

The hoodlums were said to be on reprisal against members of the Soludero Hunters, a vigilante group, who had engaged some alleged criminals around Sasa area earlier.

One of the alleged criminals who was said to have been fatally injured died later at the hospital. The death was said to have angered his colleagues who believe  Soludero Hunters have a post within the FRCN outfit.

However, not seen any of their targets, the hoodlums were said to have vented their anger on the vehicles parked on the premises and part of the building.

The Police Public Relations Officer in Oyo State, Adewale Osifeso, confirmed the incident in a statement on Sunday.

He said, “Sequel to the face-off between members of Soludero, a local vigilante group and some criminal elements around Sasa Area, Ojo, Akinyele LGA of Oyo State while on routine patrol, yesterday Saturday 31st July 2021, at about 0400HRS during which one Kabati ‘m’, a member of the criminal gang sustained gunshot injuries and was confirmed dead at the hospital.
