The cause of the inferno, which completely burnt down the studios in the FM, other critical broadcast equipment running into millions of naira and affected the physical structure of the radio station, could not be ascertained as at press time, but some eyewitnesses suspected that the blaze may have been triggered by electrical problem.

While noting that Rize FM 106.7 is the first privately owned radio station in Warri, Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State, Prince Odeli, stated that apart from creating direct and indirect employment for people within the Oil City, the broadcast outfit had professionally met the core objectives of disseminating information as well as enlightening and educating its listeners.

He appealed to the Delta State Government, multi-national and indigenously owned companies as well as public spirited individuals and institutions, to support the management of Rize FM 106.7, Warri, to enable the station come back on air within the shortest possible time, saying the destruction caused by the blaze is capable of sending staffers of the broadcast outfit into the labour market and worsen the economic situation of their families.
