Joy FM, lacsted on New Port Street in Central Monrovia, is the second Station Attcaked by unknown Persons in Less a monthMonrovia – Joy Fm, a radio station based in central Monrovia, has been put off the air by unknown men who attacked the station Tuesday, destroying the cable of its transmitter. The attack against Joy FM, located on New Port Street downtown Monrovia, is the second alleged criminal attack against a radio station in less than a month. The radio station of popular talk show host Henry Costa was attacked in succession in early February, and the second incident saw his transmitters stolen by unknown men. But Mr. Dahn, whose Joy Fm is also critical against the current administration, says he “doesn’t want to accuse anyone” but added that the attack was probably based on the station’s critical stance on national issues. “Joy Fm is one independent radio station and some times, the way we are vocal and critical on national issues… those who are involved, apparently they don’t want us to be here and they are looking for a way to silence the institution,” he said.
