The Chief Executive Officer of the Television Continental at Ikosi, Ketu, Lagos State, Mr Andrew Hanlon, has revealed that no fewer than 250 staff have been rendered jobless after arsonists burnt the station adding that over 500 direct employees of the station had been struggling to work in temporary accommodation put up by the company. The state Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, was told when he visited the management and staff of the station. Hanlon took the governor round the main auditorium, which was the hub of the TV station’s operation that was razed as well as transmission gadgets, state-of-the-art studios, production rooms and operational vehicles of TVC, including cars of staff, were also set ablaze. Hanlon said, “After the rioters invaded our premises and set the place on fire, some buildings in the premises survived. But the main transmission building was completely destroyed and it was the hub of our operations. The rioters cast fear and terror in the hearts of our employees when they broke in last week’s Wednesday morning" “People’s hard work and huge investment that went down into the TV station were destroyed in a period of about an hour. The incident was really traumatising for all of us. The rioters left immense devastation. The entire interior of the building was destroyed. This is all that is left of our bubbling building, which was a centrepiece. Thankfully, no member of staff died in the incident” He said the immediate priority of the management of the TV station was to ensure that all direct employees were looked after, stressing that the means of livelihood of thousands of indirect workers attached to the brand had been threatened. The auditorium housed three main studios, three control rooms, three master control rooms and a central transmission laboratory said to have been equipped with modern communication gadgets worth millions of dollars. All left in the building were charred materials. The station was attacked by some hoodlums after the #EndSARS protest turned violent.

People should please help the needy because as it is she is just in the hospital doing nothing and it's not like the doctors will keep attending to her.

A student of kwara poly is into internet fraud, what a shame on the student because they are only disturbing their parent and punishing them with their bad act. Now, they have been expelled, what else or where else do they want to study because it's not sure there is a way for them.

Alimat, January 13, 2021.

Some people are not meant to be in this world because they are just killing anyhow as if they are going to eat the body. The Government should please do the right thing and make the right judgement on this case.

Alimat, January 13, 2021.

Why are they closing down the school? they should have at least considered the poor students because it's really gonna affect them and it will also be a loss to the school owner. They should please consider the students situation.

Alimat, January 13, 2021.

So sad to hear about the loss of the military man, may his soul rest in peace. This people really needs to be gun down and the Government really need to act fast on this.

Alimat, January 13, 2021.

This people should stop tarnishing the image of the country and do the needful with their lives. They are kidnapping everyone and punishing the innocent people, it's not done at all.

Alimat, January 13, 2021.

That's good to hear. what mattes now is how he is going to run the state in a better way and not sabotage everything.

Alimat, January 13, 2021.

They should stop making rep-assuring promises and do the needful on time. They have been assuring the people all this while but nothing have been done and it's not right.

Alimat, January 13, 2021.

How did they escape if someone among the police didn't know about it. They should do their proper investigation on how they escape because they can't keep taking people as fool.

Alimat, January 13, 2021.

He should have warned his kinsmen against following the steps of the politicians before anything. This People are using them to gain campaign in a wrong way and manner. There won't be togetherness if they didn't stop that bad act.

Alimat, January 13, 2021.

Thy should please release the boys and stop tormenting the lives of their parents. They are keeping another peoples children with them and don't they feel they are only punishing the innocent. They should please release them back to their parents.

Alimat, January 13, 2021.

The president should please do something about the school-boy's abduction. He should at least make a move on it so that the mind of the people will be at peace and they won't do something else out of depression. Also they shouldn't show any sympathy on any of the terrorist.

Alimat, January 13, 2021.

Why will they show sympathy on a terrorist, terrorist that has been disturbing and terrorizing the people. This is so uncalled for to be showing sympathy on a common terrorist and they are claiming to the right thing which is not.

Alimat, January 13, 2021.

The teachers shouldn't have allowed the students cheat or don't they know that they are also tarnishing the image of their schools. Besides such students need to be disciplined because now they have waste their parents money and their effort to see that they become a better person in future.

Alimat, January 13, 2021.

The NMA should please use the money for the proper thing and the right thing. They should please do the right thing and monitor the funds well.

Alimat, January 13, 2021.

This is really serious and it's a very shocking, bad news. Wishing them a quick recovery on time and this is a big lesson to the people that they should always follow the rules and abide by the covid-19 protocols.

Alimat, January 13, 2021.

This people are not God fearing at all, they are just behaving the way they like in the society as if it's their Godfather that owns the country. He's suppose to be killed because for a herbalist to trade in human parts then he can kill.

Alimat, January 13, 2021.

This people are just so stupid, the problem is that they are just using their bad act to tarnish the image of the state. Someone is operating a Baby-making factory within the same state where there are rules and regulations. It's not her fault if not for those buying the child from her.

Alimat, January 13, 2021.

Nigeria insecurity is getting too much this days because people's life is always at risk and it's not nice to hear that a country as big as this does not have a tight security. The government should please do something fast because people can't be living their lives like this.
