Raypower is a group of independent private Nigerian radio stations broadcasting in multiple cities nationwide owned by media company, the Daar Communications .

[1] In the wake of deregulation of broadcasting on 24 August 1992, DAAR Communications Plc, founded by Raymond Dokpesi, applied for and was granted approval to operate an independent radio station.

[2] The station which started test transmission on 15 December 1993 made history on 1 September 1994 when it commenced commercial broadcasting with the launch of Raypower 100.5 in Lagos, as the first 24-hour broadcast service station in Nigeria, as well as the first private independent broadcasting station in the country.

[3] Dokpesi, an opposition figure, claimed his stations were being targeted and alleged licensing fees were too high.

[4] The commission said it forced their indefinite closure due to violations of broadcast codes and failure to meet other obligations to the regulator.
