people, police said on Tuesday.
It was unclear whether the attack on the local language
Ta'o FM station in Okene town was orchestrated by Nigeria's Boko Haram
militants or the powerful organized robbery and kidnapping rings that
operate in the West African country.
"Three security guards and an engineer working for the
station were killed. We are investigating who could be responsible and
why," Shola Adebayo, the public relations officer for state police, told
Reuters.
Adebayo said police believed Ta'o FM was the target.
While Kogi is a way off from northeastern Nigeria, where
Islamist group Boko Haram has waged a six-year insurgency, the region
has also experienced intermittent attacks by the militants intent on
creating a caliphate in west Africa.
