The service of DAAR Communications PLC Management, the owners of AIT and Raypower, which was disrupted at the request of the Rivers State government, will be restored soon.
They stated that the ongoing dispute between DAAR Communications PLC and the Rivers State Government is currently being heard in court and that further comments on the matter will be withheld in order to avoid jeopardizing the legal process.
In a statement issued yesterday in Abuja, the management said that on September 4th, 2023, at approximately 10 a.m., a joint operation involving the Rivers State Government and federal security agencies resulted in the collapse of the Transmission Mast for AIT and Raypower in Port-Harcourt.
According to management, the unfortunate incident damaged the transmitter building and antennas, making AIT and Raypower terrestrial transmission temporarily unavailable.
DAAR Communications PLC’s management assured its valued audience that alternative means of accessing AIT and Raypower content remain available, including DStv, Gotv, StarTimes, the FreeTV platform, and the AIT and Raypower Apps available online.
Furthermore, the company stated that it is actively working to expedite the restoration of terrestrial broadcasting services.
It stated that the public will be kept up to date on any developments.
It was stated that DAAR Communications PLC is grateful to well-meaning Nigerians, media organizations, corporate interests, and political stakeholders who have expressed sympathy and support during this difficult time.
Despite these setbacks, the company stated that it remains committed to providing high-quality media services. Raypower FM and AIT are expected to emerge stronger and more resilient from adversity.
