The Rivers State Government has commenced the demolition of properties near the African Independent Television, AIT/Raypower Radio Station at Ozuoba, in the Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of the state.
Recall that the Rivers State Government had given a 48-hour quit notice to Daar Communication, the owners of AIT and Raypower media houses.
The government said the area had been mapped out for GRA Phase 5 Ozuoba.
The land on which AIT and Raypower Radio Station built its transmission station has been a subject of dispute between the government and Daar Communication Plc.
The state government stationed bulldozers around the AIT/Raypower premises last Friday.
It also commenced the demolition of makeshift shops around the area.
However, the building housing the media houses are yet to be demolished.
