#EndSARS: TVC back on air four days after hoodlums attack TVC station

SHARE

 



Television Continental (TVC) is back on air about four days after its headquarters in Lagos was attacked by hoodlums, because the station is owned by the former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Our correspondent had earlier reported how hoodlums attacked the company’s head office at Ketu on Tuesday amid the unrests that trailed the #EndSARS protests.

Checks on the station on Saturday morning, however, showed it is still battling technical glitches.

TVC Entertainment is not fully back on air but their sister station TVC News is airing programs on their UHF Channel.

 

The development is coming a day after The Nation newspaper, of which head office was also attacked by the hoodlums, resumed operation.

The recent attacks on private and government-owned properties in the state were triggered by the shooting of unarmed #EndSARS protesters at Lekki tollgate on Tuesday.

Bola Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is believed to be the target of the attacks.

The two media establishments have been linked to the former Lagos state governor.

The #EndSARS protest started as a campaign against misconducts of the now-disbanded special anti-robbery squad (SARS) and expanded focus to overall police reform.
