The Chairman high Chief Raymond Aleogho Dokpesi sacked the two senior editorial staff, (Gbenga Aruleba and Imoni Amarere) over the interview of Mr. Richard Akinnola, front-line social critic and human rights activist with Aruleba on AIT two days ago on the acquittal of Major Hamza Al Mustapha, where Mr. Akinnola strongly condemned the ‘miscarriage of justice’ of the judgment as a political judgment to pacify the North ahead of 2015 general elections.
From a reliable source, Chief Dokpesi threw caution to the wind as he stormed the studio even when the bulletin was still on and stopped the bulletin after which he lambasted Aruleba over this controversial interview which he said was in bad taste.
Sadly,Dokpesi followed this up yesterday evening by sacking Aruleba and Amarere. He then went ahead and placed their sack in the 8pm news bulletin of last night.
Gbenga Presents the most popular programme on AIT ,FOCUS NIGERIA and one of the best brain in the Broadcast industry in Nigeria while Mac Imoni Amarere is an Executive Director with the Media giant, both are well-trained,talented and experienced broadcasters.
I am very sure late Chief Gani Fawehinmi must be turning with anger,hatred and disappointment in his grave right now.
#major and controversies..mouth sealed !!
