FIVE suspected Oodua Nation Agitators, who reportedly hijacked Amuludun 99.1 FM in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria, in the early hours of Sunday, have been arrested.
The radio station, owned by the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN), was reportedly hijacked around 6:00 a.m on Sunday.
The suspects invaded the station with various forms of charms.
The alleged agitators took over the station and broadcasted live for about an hour.
Among their claims on air included; “Oodua Nation has come to stay,” “Yoruba no more under Federal Republic of Nigeria,” and “United Nations will soon declare Oodua Nation,” among others.
The General Manager of the station, Mr. Stephen Agbaje, confirmed the development.
He 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.”
