Gunmen numbering about 15 yesterday invaded Radio Nigeria Prime FM, Lokoja, Kogi State, carting away valuable broadcasting equipment.
Among the items cart away were three transmitter copper line, automatic antenna changeover, a set of transmitter copper, 22 RF amplifier modules, one hundred am battery, one console and radio for audio streaming.
The security man on duty, Daniel Haruna, revealed that the hoodlums, numbering about 15 and armed with guns and cutlasses, stormed the station in the early hours of Saturday. 
He said they did not rough-handle him but took away the aforementioned items.
He added that the hoodlums warned him to keep silent over their operation, reminding him that the items being carted away were not his personal property.
The radio station’s General Manager, Adeiza Momohjimoh, described the incident as unfortunate and showed how callous hoodlums could be in their activities.
Momohjimoh noted that the incident was a setback that would cause the station to be off air for some time.
He appealed to security agencies to help media houses with personnel to secure their property particularly at night, and to forestall such occurrences in future.
The station manager also called on the management of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria to look into perimeter fencing of its premises to avoid encroachment and easy accessibility.
