masterminds of Radio Biafra with its signals reportedly jammed, the organization
announced on Friday that it has launched another station,with 50 others being
planned.
Radio Biafra, which is still broadcasting on the world wide web, is a transmitting
platform calling for the secession of the old eastern region from Nigeria.
The Cable reports that the new station identified as “Biafra 24 Radio” has hit the
airwaves pushing the same message of “freedom of Biafraland”, adding that the
radio station says it is running with the motto of “bringing Biafra closer”.
Meanwhile, residents of Port Harcourt, Rivers state, were said to be having
difficulty accessing the station. Joseph Udofia, one of the residents told the
online newspaper that of all the stations broadcasting in Rivers, none is Radio
Biafra.
“The 97.6FM was the former frequency (and) they claim to have moved to
102.1FM, but I can authoritatively say that nothing is being broadcast on that
frequency now,” he said.
The location and local frequency of Biafra 24 Radio could not be ascertained.
Radio Biafra, which refers to Nigeria as a zoo, said the government is being unfair
to them, claiming that Buhari promoted “Radio Chanji” when he was seeking
power.
“Radio Chanji was floated by Buhari and the APC, unregistered, to oust (President
Goodluck) Jonathan. Yet Radio Biafra is registered and they want to stop us. Why
do you need the United Kingdom, the United States, Israel to stop Radio Biafra?”
the on air personality queried.
He accused the government of trying to sabotage its operations by telling Tune-
in Radio, an online platform, to shut down Radio Biafra.
“The government told tune in to shut it down, what they do not understand is that
tune in is just one of several listening ports. Tune in after much pressure have
now restored Radio Biafra back to their platform,” the voice stated.
