According to Sahara Reporters, The affected staff were handed their respective sack letters on Friday, being Workers Day.  Gotel Communication is a  television and radio broadcast conglomerate transmitting from Yola, the Adamawa State capital.

A copy of the sack letter reads in parts, “The management has decided to discontinue your services with immediate effect. Consequently, please be informed that your entitlements including stipend lieu of the notice will be computed and posted into your account with immediate effect.”
