Channels TV Goes Offline As Staff Flee Lagos Office

Journalists and staff of Channels Television ran for safety on Wednesday for fear of a mob attack.

The station has also gone offline at the time of filing this report.

A staff of the TV station who spoke to TheCable said he did not know the condition of the office because everyone had to flee the premises.

This is the second media house that has gone offline after TV Continental was attacked by a mob on Wednesday morning.

Tope Mark-Odigie, a TVC anchor, in an Instagram video, said the station was attacked by some hoodlums.

She said the policemen stationed in the area took to their heels on seeing the mob.

Hoodlums have unleashed attacks on Nigerians protesting against police brutality and visiting violence on security formations.

There has been a general breakdown of law and order in Lagos.

Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Lagos state governor, imposed a 24-hour curfew on Tuesday.
