Sam also described the act as unprofessional, adding that no matter the seriousness of the investigation being carried out, it is not military era.
He said: “It is only in times of military seizure of power that we experience such an act of forceful disruption of broadcast transmission of this kind.
“No matter what offence, it’s the individual that may have committed it as alleged and should be gone after in a due process and not extending it to public facilities like radio on air.”
