Oriyomi Hamzat claims there's a plan to tear down Agidigbo FM radio station

Oriyomi Hamzat, a popular Ibadan-based broadcaster and founder of Agidigbo FM, has made a startling allegation, claiming that there are plans to plant hard drugs within the premises of his radio station and frame him for criminal activities as a pretext for sealing or demolishing the media outfit.

n

Hamzat, who is also an Accord Party governorship aspirant, made this allegation in a video that has since gone viral on social media, stating that unnamed individuals were orchestrating schemes aimed at implicating him and jeopardising the operations of Agidigbo FM.

n

Recent developments in Oyo State prompted Hamzat to publicly alert residents to what he described as an ongoing campaign of intimidation against him and his organisation, with certain individuals allegedly being sent to the radio station under false pretenses.

n

These individuals, Hamzat claimed, were sent to the radio station under the guise of lodging complaints or seeking intervention from the media platform, with the intention of secretly planting illicit substances on the premises.

n

Hamzat stated that "some arrests and demolitions are already ongoing in Oyo State" and that he had heard of plans to plant hard drugs inside Agidigbo and pretend that an issue was brought to the station.

n

According to Hamzat, "we saw the people sent yesterday to carry out the plan, and we are still expecting others they intended to send", indicating that the alleged plot was still ongoing.

n

Another plot, Hamzat alleged, was being hatched to recruit individuals, dress them in yellow attire commonly associated with the Accord Party, and portray them as his supporters after allegedly engaging in criminal activities.

n

Hamzat claimed that "they also planned to dress some people in yellow clothes and claim they are my supporters after using them to commit crimes", with the intention of tarnishing his image and creating grounds for action against him.

n

Notably, Hamzat did not identify those he believed were behind the alleged schemes, nor did he provide evidence to substantiate the claims, leaving many questions unanswered.

n

The broadcaster's allegations have generated reactions on social media, with supporters and observers calling for vigilance and urging relevant authorities to investigate the claims made by Hamzat.
