Broadcasting Organisations Of Nigeria (BON) Condemns The Demolition Of Yinka Ayefele’s Radio Station.

The Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria (BON) has condemned in no uncertain terms the demolition of Fresh FM105.9 by the government of Oyo State.
Details of the statement released by BON and made available to Naija News stated,
“The station was pulled down and journalists thrown into the job market not withstanding the fact that a case of alleged breach of the Oyo State Town Planning was before a court of competent jurisdiction.”

“As an umbrella body of broadcast stations in the country, we find this action not only oppressive and high handed but a demonstration of flagrant muzzling of the media and press freedom which must be condemned by all civilized minds. We ask the media in Nigeria, our international counterparts and all people of goodwill to stand and condemn the action of the government of Oyo State.”
“BON stands with the Management and staff of Fresh FM and will support the proprietor of the station, Mr. Yinka Ayefele in demanding compensation from the State Government through any legitimate means necessary.”
“The era of reckless assault on the media, especially by a democratically elected government is over and must be resisted where ever it rears its head.”
