(SSS) has apprehended a engineer based in Enugu believed to be the
main engineer of separatist station, Radio Biafra.
The engineer allegedly assisted the operators of the
radio station to place not so large equipment on abandoned NITEL
transmission polls and a few transmitters owned by other mobile
telecom providers.
The engineer has since been transported to Abuja to face
interrogation, Newsrescue.com reports.
The station has been operating online for some years now but recently
began broadcasting inciting and insulting messages across Nigeria's
South east and South South region.
Meanwhile, the Director-General of the Nigerian Broadcasting
Commission (NBC), Emeka Mba, has promised Nigerians that the signals
from the station will be blocked soon.

Two days ago, the NBC claimed it had successfully jammed signals from
separatist radio station, Radio Biafra. But the owners of the station
and some Nigerians who follow the activities of the station denied the
claims of the regulatory agency.
Radio Biafra operates from an unknown location with the frequency 88.0
and it is quite popular among some listeners.
The station which shows solidarity for the Biafra struggle is mainly
listened to by people in Rivers, Imo, Anambra and Enugu state.
In a related development, Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo recently
stated that the radio station, "does not have the backing of the South
East, any leader of the South East, or any Igbo man." pc ads bottom
