TVC on fire: Television Continental is burning after angry Lagosians set it on fire – VIDEO

Television Continental (TVC) located in Ikosi-Ketu has been set ablaze by Lagosians who are angry about the #EndSARS protesters who were shot and killed by Nigerian soldiers.

The TV station is reportedly owned by former governor of Lagos State Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is also the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

A reporter inside the building who cried out for help said parts of the stations is already up in flames while journalists and other workers on night and early morning duties are currently trapped inside.

“Yes, I can confirm it. Cars within the compound are already on fire and parts of the station are in flames. Our popular morning programme “Your View” that was ongoing before the attack is already off air. Please pray for our colleagues who are trapped and taking cover in the compound,”
