“We will appeal to the people of Ada that the police will need their cooperation and their assistance in bringing closure to this.
"Because the incident happened in broad daylight and people might have seen them, they might have identified them. So we are appealing that anyone with information about the identity of these people to contact the police for arrests to be made,” he added.
The management of Radio Ada 93.3 FM on Thursday, January 13, 2022, stated that some unidentified thugs attacked the station.

As a result of the attack, the station has temporarily been shut down, effective Friday, January 14, 2022, due to their equipment and other properties being vandalised.
