Court remands seven Yoruba Nation agitators for invading Ibadan radio station

Ibadan Magistrate court has remanded seven Yoruba Nation agitators at Abolongo Correction Centre in Oyo State for invading a radio station.  
 
It would be recalled that the suspects invaded Amuludun station of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, (FRCN) Moniya in Akinyele local government area on Sunday, May 28, 2023. 

The suspects who are arraigned on a 4 count charge of Conspiracy, treason and two count charge of armed robbery are, Noah Atoyebi, Adeleke Gbenga AbdulGaniyu Mustaoha and Ifagbola Elijah.

Others are; Oladapo Ajala and Rasheed Jimoh.

The suspects were arraigned on a 4-count at Ibadan Magistrate court on Monday, June 19, 2023, but their plea was not taken. 

Magistrate P.O. Adetuyi ordered them to be remanded at Abolongo Correction Centre and adjourned the case to 13th September 2023.

Magistrate Adetuyi stated that the case file would be duplicated and sent to the Director of Public Prosecution for advice. 

It would be recalled that the suspects hijacked the airwaves of the Amuludun station, allegedly collected all the valuables including the mobile handsets of the broadcast staff on duty thereby making it impossible for them to communicate with the outside world.

The alleged agitators took over the station and broadcasted live.

The leader of the team headed straight to the broadcast studio and was on air for almost one hour.

“We are being sent to inform the people that Yoruba people have been freed. Henceforth, no more to Police and Army harassment. We are hereby calling for the release of our brothers and sisters that are serving jail term. We are neither here to harass nor injure anybody. We are here for peace,” the leader said.
