  • Police have arrested popular Ibadan-based broadcaster. 

THE NATION REPORTERS reports that the operatives of the Police force have arrested popular Ibadan-based broadcaster, Alhaji Oriyomi Hamzat.

He was arrested on Thursday morning.

 

According to a post on one of his Facebook pages, he was arrested by Federal Intelligence Bureau of the Nigerian Police.

The post reads: “ORIYOMI HAMZAT HAS BEEN ARRESTED BY FEDERAL INTELLIGENCE BUREAU OF NIGERIAN POLICE FORCE ABUJA”

 

Adebayo Yousuph, Head of Station, Agidigho 88.7 FM, also confirmed the news in a statement issued on Thursday.

Adebayo said Hamzat has been repeated invited for questioning by various security agencies over his call for thorough investigation in the murder case of Timothy Adegoke, OAU MBA student who died at the Hilton Hotel, Ile Ife.

“We have been inundated with repeated calls and messages since the early hours of today following widespread concerns by well-meaning Nigerians home and abroad, our colleagues in the media and the general public about the safety of our Chairman at Sure Etiquelte Media Plus Ltd, the parent company for Agidigbo FM, Ibadan, Agidigbo FM, Lagos and Agidigbo Television, Mr. Oriyomi Hamzat.

 

“Hence, we will like to use this medium to inform everyone that Mr. Oriyomi Hamzat has in the past few days been subjected to regular invites and questioning by several security operatives, including but not limited to the State Intelligence Bureau (SIB); all of which he dutifully honoured and attended to. The premise of these invites and

questioning is unconnected with his consistent call for due diligence in the trial of Chief Rahman Adegoke Adedoyin over the death of Timothy Adegoke who died under unfortunate circumstances in the former’s hotel in Osun State.

 

“It would be realized that Mr. Oriyomi Hamzat’s constant call for justice for the deceased has been a source of concern for the accused.

 

“However, the entire situation began to escalate when the SIB started plans to hand over Mr. Hamzat to the Force Intelligence Bureau (FIB) and in the early hours of today, Thursday, 26′ of May, 2022, he was arrested and as we speak has been whisked away to Abuja.

 

 

“We seek to reiterate here to well-meaning Nigerians, the media and the general public, that the reason for which Mr. Oriyomi Hamzat was arrested is his defiant call for justice for Timothy Adegoke and extensive support for the deceased’s family. We, therefore appeal to all Nigerians to kindly lend their voice to ensure that Oriyomi Hamzat won’t be subjected to inhumane treatment and undue incarceration just for standing for the truth and for humanity.

 

 

 

“We are strengthened by the staunch support and camaraderie from several corers so far and we promise to keep

the general public abreast of further developments.”
