The alleged Oodua Nation agitators who were about twenty in numbers stormed the station with loads of charms at about 5:30am and seized the live studio while a sponsored programme was ongoing.
The alleged agitators took over the live studio and entire premises of the station started broadcasting.
Among their claims included “Oodua Nation has come to stay” “Yoruba no more under Federal Republic of Nigeria” “United Nation will soon declare Oodua Nation” among others things.
