Niger State Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago has ordered the closure of Badeggi FM Radio Station for allegedly inciting violence.
According to a statement signed by Bologi Ibrahim, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Niger State, Bago gave the directive during the expanded Niger State APC Caucus meeting held at the Government House Minna.
He explained that the decision was taken because the daily activities of the Radio station have been unethical.
Governor Bago also accused the owner of the Station for incitement of the people against government and directed that the license of the Radio station be revoked.
The governor directed the Commissioner for Homeland Security and the Commissioner of Police to seal the radio station, and emphasised the need for the security operatives to profile the owner of the radio station as his station promotes violence.
