The source wondered if the attack was because the station reported the attack on the police stations that were burnt down.

“I don’t know what could have warrant their action. We are not police, we are not government, we are only a private outfit doing our job,” he said.

The Head of Station of AIT, Bisi Akpaida, could not be reached on her mobile phones for a reaction.
