A devastating fire razed three radio stations in Aba, Abia State, on Saturday night, reducing electronic broadcasting equipment worth millions to ashes.

The affected stations—Enyimba 94.3 FM, Rose 101.9 FM, and Legend 98.3 FM—were all located off Margret Avenue, on the PZ axis of the Aba-Owerri Road in Aba North local government area.

Though the stations operate independently, they share the same building, which allowed the fire to spread swiftly among them.

The blaze was eventually contained by the Abia State Fire Service, preventing it from affecting nearby buildings.

According to a staff member, the fire reportedly started in the television section of Enyimba TV and Radio Limited—the parent company for the three stations—before spreading to the other stations.

While no lives were lost, the fire destroyed all broadcasting equipment.

In an official statement, Enyimba TV and Radio Limited said it is investigating the cause of the fire and has temporarily suspended operations at the three stations to assess the damage and implement preventive measures.

A firefighter from the Abia State Fire Service, speaking anonymously with TheNation urged business owners to invest in fire extinguishers and hydrants to help control fires in emergencies.

The incident has left a significant void in Aba’s broadcasting space, with listeners in the area awaiting further updates from the stations on resuming broadcasts.
