Well Educated People Burnt Tinubu’s TVC – Presenter’s Husband

By Chuks Ekpeneru

The husband of a Tope Mark Odigie, a staff of the headquarters of TVC, has narrated how the television station believed to be owned by former Lagos State Governor Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was burnt down.

Mark Odigie, an information technologist, said he had on Wednesday taken his wife to work.

Tope is a co-host of the station’s popular breakfast talk show- Your View.

“So I decided to drive her to the office, leaving our two nine-year-old kids at home,” he said.

Mark said he stayed at the car park inside his Mazda CX-9 SUV waiting to take his wife back home since the programme was billed to end by 11 a.m.

He was lucky as only his car was razed to ashes by the people who burnt the TV station.

He said those who razed the station to the ground were too “sophisticated attackers to be called miscreants.”

According to him “I couldn’t call these guys (the arsonists) miscreants. They were pretty much educated, and spoke good English. They were very organised, and chanted; “No killing,” “No killing;” “Just destroy,” “Just destroy;” “We have our targets.”

“It was at that point that I began to wonder what was really going on. They were very clear about what they came for.”

He said the young men were armed with dangerous weapons such as machetes, axes, knifes, sticks and petrol bombs and invaded the compound through its gate that leads to Aladelola Street in Ketu.
