According to report, the Oyo State Police Command arrested five Yoruba Nation agitators in connection with an attempt to take over a Federal Government-owned radio station in Ibaban, the Oyo State capital.
The Commissioner of Police, Adebowale Williams who declared the act as criminal, unpatriotic and a clear case of terrorism which would be meted with adequate sanctions under the laws of the land, assured the people of speedy investigation .
The separatists attacked the Radio Nigeria, Amuludun 99.1FM around 6pm on Sunday.
The suspects in police custody are Noah Atoyebi ‘M’ 30yrs, Gbenga Adeleke ‘M’ 25yrs, Abdulganiyu Kolawole ‘M’ 35yrs, Bashiru Kehinde O. ‘F’, and Fajola Elija ‘M’ 45yrs.
