Gunmen on Tuesday night attacked a popular Radio Station, Wish FM 99.5 and the Atlantic Television Network in Ozuoba, in the Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, with explosive devices suspected to be dynamite as well as sporadic gunshots.
The incident is understood to have happened around 8:40pm, leading to the destruction of some equipment and property in the facility which houses the two media outfit owned by a member of the House of Representatives, Chinyere Igwe.
Igwe is also an ardent supporter of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar.
Igwe confirmed the incident, to newsmen on Wednesday morning, saying, “What I am happy about is that no life was lost.
However, the spokesperson for the state police command, Grace Iringe-Koko, said she had yet to get the report of the incident, but promised to find out from the Divisional Police Officer and give our reporter a feedback.
There have been cases if attacks, suspected to be political in Rivers State. This has been pointed to as the reason why the presidential candidate of the PDP Atiku Abubakar called off his campaign in the state.
The former Vice President said his ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian.
