He called in through the phone around 8 20 am in the live program, where he expressed his anger about the development, and ordered the station to be shut down immediately.


He said the radio station would remain shut till Tuesday when there would be  further discussion on the topic, before going off again, till Wednesday when the listeners views on the matter through phone calls, would be entertained.


The Tinubu administration has been under pressure since images of the minors went viral last week.
