Thugs affiliated with the All Progressives Congress (APC) political
party have attacked the crew of African Independent Television (AIT) in
Ekiti State.
The television
station’s crew were in Ikere Ekiti, Ado Ekiti State, to transmit ‘Live’
coverage of the Labour Party's (LP) Governorship Candidate, Michael
Opeyemi Bamidele, campaign rally.
The campaign rally was
attended by party stalwarts, which included Governor Olusegun Mimiko, of
the Ondo state, and the Party's National Chairman, Mr. Dan Inwanyanwu.
The APC thugs brandished weapons, guns, and other weaponry, before
descending on their targets, and made away with equipment, and other
accessories belonging to the occupants of the vehicles.
Cameras, recording devices, including transmission gadgets belonging to the station were smashed, and badly destroyed.
SaharaReporters learned that the Television crew included reporters, cameramen, technical engineers,and drivers.
The vehicles that also accompanied the AIT crew, believed to be at
least two cars, were also smashed, and badly damaged, said a source who
was at the scene, and had told a SaharaReporters correspondent some
moments after the incident.
It is not yet clear if the Television crew were actually targeted, or if they only fell victim to a random attack.
