Specific information on private radio stations operated in Kaduna in 1990 by Muslim groups could not be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate.

According to a Radio Kudirat Nigeria report of 8 October 1996, the managing director of Kaduna State Media Corporation, Mr. Felix Sanda, "debunked claims that Radio Kaduna was never jammed by El Zak-Zaky's Muslim Brotherhood pirate radio station as claimed by the junta." The Research Directorate is unable to find further information on the pirate radio station operated by the Muslim Brotherhood.
