Two vehicles in the parking lot, one of them belonging to a staff member, were hit by bullets.
Davis was also resolute, declaring that the team remains steadfast and will continue to produce and air news as well as the station’s various programmes.
Hughes noted that the attack came on the same day when the leadership of the Opposition People’s National Party (PNP) were on the front page of The Gleaner newspaper declaring support for comments made by the party’s General Secretary Dr Dayton Campbell against Nationwide at the party’s St Andrew East Central constituency conference on September 3, 2023.
In that address, Campbell accused Nationwide of being an “incubator for the Jamaica Labour Party” and went on to name a number of former employees of the station who are now working in Government.
The comments were condemned by the Press Association of Jamaica (PAJ) which said that such remarks, coming from a prominent political figure, have the potential to place Nationwide journalists at risk of attacks by political activists and party supporters.
