My Local Media

Brekete

Information is power and there are many mediums in which information can be passed. One of these medium is via television and Fm stations.

Also, there are different channels e.g. Government and private televisions/audio stations. FM 101.1 popular known as Brekete family.
This radio station was initiated by Ahmed Isah, Alias or many Mohammed. It is a pidgin English-based station. It first arrived at kiss Fm in 2009, later in Crowther love Fm before it established its Fm station, all in Abuja, Nigeria.

It is a non-profit (Ngo) station. Its service is to provide justice to the oppressed investigation, human right promotion, protection, anti-corruption, and more.

The station is a well-organized station which is utmostly interested in the affairs of the less privileged. Their reporters normally go out to get information on events within our immediate environment to enable effective communication within specific areas and to fight for the oppressed.

Many cases of fraud victims are being reported to them. They normally invite those that are involved while they will be summoned to the station and would be open on air until their grievances are heard and are amicably settled.

There was a recent case of a woman whose land was seized and some people forged the paper and resale it. But the woman immediately ran to the station to report the case. An investigation was carried out, and about N7 Million was recovered on her behalf.
Though I have not been there actually to report or sought out any case, I have some close relatives who had reported their cases there and later got the justice expected.

There have also been some reported cases whereby the witnesses are placed on the phone to get more information that is needed. It is indeed a human right station where people have received so much help in cash kind and justice prevailed. The station is known as the voice of the voiceless.
