Olisa Adibua Programmes Director, Beat 99.9FM Brutalises Colleague (The complete Story)

I was doing my thing online going through Linda's Blog and many more sites i surf daily, i came across this gist and decided to carry out more research into it .

THE GIST

Olisa Adibua, who is the Programmes Director for Beat 99.9 Fm and Naija FM and an OAP on Beat 99.9 Fm (Morning Rush - every morning Monday - Friday), came back to the office from the industry night event which he attended, found Adewunmi Oyekanmi, who is the night news editor/news presenter at Naija Fm, sleeping on the couch and attacked him.Mr Olisa Adibua was said to have assaulted Adewunmi Oyekanmi with a heavy Object, dealt him several blows on the face , in a serious rage Mr Olisa Adibua ripped off Adewunmi's shirt, smashed his phone and trampled on it after which he kicked him off the premises.the result of the attack is evident in the picture taken by Mr Adewunmi just after the Attack.. This incident occurred on Thursday , 8 th of September. You can imagine the implication of this in the western world , in a system where things work as it ought to be working, devoid of sentiment.

But of course the company Megaletrics The owner of beat and classic FM has done what they had to do to shut Adewunmi up, and i believe the young man is afraid of losing his job. The Ilesha born Adewunmi Oyekanmi , a member of class of 2006 of Lagos State University with a major in History and International relations has released a public statement indicating that he is not going to press charges and that he is satisfied with the way the company has handled the matter "in house" in his statement he wrote

My name is Adewunmi Oyekanmi, news editor with the Beat 99.9 Fm.

An incident occurred at my work place within the early hours of the 8^th of Sep 2011 between myself and another member of staff which has been blown out of proportion in the media.

I have been wrongfully quoted in various blogs and magazines, but this will be my first official statement and the last, so please disregard anything you might have seen, heard or read.

The incident in question has been dealt with to my satisfaction by the Management of Megalectrics, operators of The Beat 99.9 Fm, in a swift and conclusive manner.

The member of staff (Mr Olisa Adibua) with whom I had the altercation with, has duly apologized most sincerely and I have accepted, based on the fact that since I started working at the station, my relationship with the said party has always been cordial and friendly.

In reference to a purported conversation between myself and an undercover reporter, I’d like to state categorically that I have never had a phone conversation or granted any interview to any media or reporter.

What transpired was an internal matter which was leaked into the public domain to create division within our corporate entity. I refuse to be used as a pawn or be labelled ‘the voiceless or oppressed’.

Megalectrics, the operators of the beat 99.9fm employed me in the capacity of news editor in July 2010, and ever since I have had no cause to complain about the working environment, my colleagues or superiors.

We operate an open system where everyone is free to speak their minds, regardless of rank of hierarchy.

Once again, I’d like to reiterate that the matter has been resolved and the member of staff has apologized for the altercation we had.

In conclusion, I would like this issue to be extinguished so I can get back to my normal every day life, as the recent publications and rumors circulating have put a strain on my family and private life.

I would like to thank the management and staff of Megalectrics for the swift and decisive response to the matter. I would also like to thank everyone who showed concern. I’d like to reassure you that I am okay and in good health as is confirmed by my attached photo.

These are my final words on the subject.

Thank you very much and God bless.

**************

While it will be an exercise in futility to try to force Adewunmi to press charges in a matter of this nature, especially in a country like ours where cases like Rape and even murder is being settled out of court, Adewunmi who happens to be a peace loving person with Mathma Gandhi as his mentor must have had his bruised lips sealed by whatever means , the act has been done and we know who has committed the act and the whole Nigerian community especially the many fans and listeners to his radio programmes . MrOlisa Adibua has created an impression : a bad reputation in the making, and i have this to say "So much depends of reputation Guard it with your life"Rule five , 48 laws of power. Not everything can be swept under the carpet !! IT IS A SHAME!!!

Beat FM has not seen anything yet .

Nuff said!!
