VIDEO: Hoodlums set Television Continental (TVC) on fire

 

Suspected hoodlums have set fire to Television Continental, aka TVC, at Ketu, Lagos.

 

A popular talkshow programme, YourView, was on when the hoodlums besieged the station.

 

The programme host, Morayo Afolabi-Brown, who said the hoodlums entered in a van, asked to go on a commercial break.

 

The station had since then been stuck.

Videos online confirmed by workers at the station said the assailants set fire to the station over its connection to a former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu.
