In a statement on behalf of the NUJ State Council Chairman, Comrade Tonye Yemoleigha, the Secretary of Council, Comrade Stanley Imgbi noted that the attack is a rape on the entire media family in Bayelsa State and an attack on press freedom.<\/p>\n
The statement enjoined the State security apparatus, especially the Commissioner of Police to fish out the perpetrators of this crime and bring them to book.<\/p>\n
It further urged that a police patrol van be stationed around the media house, as is the case in several strategic points in Yenagoa, because of the isolated location of the radio station.<\/p>\n
