Tao FM: Kogi State Government Vows to Bring Perpetrators to Justice



Kogi State Governor, Capt. Idris Wada, says there will be no hiding place for those behind the bombing of Tao FM in Kuroko, Adavi LGA of Kogi State.
Capt. Wada disclosed this when he paid a sympathy visit to the management of the radio station.
The Governor who was represented by his deputy, Yomi Awoniyi, discribed the attack on the station as callous and senseless, stressing that perpetrators of the bomb attack are enemies of progress who must be brought to justice.

He noted that the radio station which has become the voice of Ebira people would be given the necessary support and encouragement to resume operation as soon as possible.
While sympathising with the management and staff of the media house for the loss of lives and properties, Governor Wada said the visit which is coming a week after an earlier visit led by the Secretary to the State Government Prof. Olugbemiro Jegede underscores the importance accorded the radio station by the State Government.
The Governor who was accompanied on the visit by the Commissioner for Information, Hajiya Zainab Suleiman Okino, was received by Salamatu Ali, the Accountant of the FM  Station, who said the destruction was a set back as it happened at a time the station has become a household name among the people of Ebiraland.
She praised the state government for the concern and support it has shown since the incident occurred.
It would be recalled that the ugly incident at Tao FM occurred last week when some unknown assailants invaded the premises of the radio station killing four persons and causing massive damage to the station.
