Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago of Niger state has ordered the closure of Badeggi FM radio station for inciting violence.
The governor gave the order at the weekend 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 of incitement of the people against government and ordered that the license of the radio station be revoked.
According to the governor, “The Commissioner for Homeland Security and the Commissioner of Police are to seal the radio station”, emphasising the need for the security operatives to profile the owner of the radio station as his station promotes violence.
