TVC Resumes Operation — Four Days After Hoodlums Razed Headquarters

Television Continental (TVC) is back on air about four days after its headquarters in Lagos was attacked by hoodlums.

Ekohotblog had reported how a mob attacked the company’s head office at Ketu on Tuesday amid the violence and unrests that characterised the imposition of curfew on Lagos state.

Checks on the station on Saturday, however, showed it is still contending with glitches.

The development is coming a day after The Nation newspaper, of which head office was also attacked by the hoodlums, resumed operation.

The recent attacks on private and government-owned properties in the state were spurred by the shooting of unarmed #EndSARS protesters at Lekki tollgate on Tuesday.

Bola Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is believed to be a target of the attacks.

The two media establishments have been linked to the former Lagos state governor.

Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Lagos state governor, had denied any involvement in the incident, blaming it on “forces beyond his direct control”.

The #EndSARS protest started as a campaign against high-handedness and brutality of the now-disbanded special anti-robbery squad (SARS) and expanded focus to overall police reform.
