NBC vs DAAR Communications: Heavily armed police, SSS operatives
surround AIT premises – Akiotu
Heavily armed
security men of the Nigeria Police Force and the State Security Service have
surrounded the premises of the African Independent Television, AIT.
This was after the
station came back on air late Friday.
This was disclosed
by the Group Managing Director of DAAR Communications, Tony Akiotu.
Akiolu addressed
newsmen shortly after AIT commenced operation, claiming that security forces
gathered around the station’s premises.
He decried the
development, adding that the action of the NPF and the SSS was an ‘unwarranted
threat’ on the broadcast station.
He said that “by
12.30 a.m. Saturday morning, the premises was surrounded, adding that the
“heavily fortified security operatives were carrying out surveillance on the
premises.”
He said this was
“unusual” and the motive “unclear” but the station will not be deterred as “the
station is still transmitting signals on its national and global beam.”
