The Rivers State Government has shutdown the operations of Africa Independent Television, AIT, and Raypower FM in Port Harcourt, South-South Nigeria.

The operations were shutdown in an invasion operation by telecommunications engineers contracted by the State Government who were accompanied by armed security operatives. The contractors disconnected the wave guard from the antenna on the mast while riggers were seen dismantling the mast.

Meanwhile, bulldozers were also deployed by the Rivers State Government to demolish the Transmitter Complex at the DAAR Communications PLC Broadcast Centre in Port Harcourt.

Management of the Company has been taken by surprise following the sudden turn of events as efforts were in top gear to resolve issues with the State Government amicably but the no notice incident is a heavy source of concern.

Some of officials of the telecommunications contractor told AIT.live that they were working on directive from above to start demolition on Sunday despite the heavy rains as against a later date.

That was probably not the first notice. And as you can see, the government still waited till after 5 months before executions.

This is what happens in many instances. People ignore government warnings and care on with their operations. When government eventually execute they claim they were not notified.

We saw on our way out few weeks ago how make-shift buildings close to the AIT complex have been demolished.

The Ex-Guv has maintained AIT/Ray Power has no title to the expansive premises it occupies in the Rivers state capital city and the eviction order has no political undertone.

Irrespective of our political affiliation, it's important we do away from politics of bitterness and destruction.

It's not healthy for our total well being.
