Read below Olisa's official statement published on THE BEAT 99.9FM official Facebook page.
As has been widely reported I was involved in an altercation with a
work colleague during the week.
I am deeply regretful of what transpired
and have taken full responsibility for my actions. I have privately
apologized to my colleague, the team that I work with and I am taking
this opportunity to apologize to the public at large.
As humans
we all make mistakes and I made a major one which is completely out of
character. I over reacted to a situation and that is something that will
never repeat itself.
Despite being at the centre of a
media feeding frenzy, I’ve been silent in order to allow the
organization, to which I’m affiliated with and at who’s premises the
incident occurred, to carry out its investigations and come to a
conclusion but most importantly to allow the aggrieved party (Mr.
Adewunmi Oyekanmi) time to accept my heartfelt apology.
While
the events have been distorted, I am very apologetic about the
situation but picking holes in the media reports or pointing out the
falsehoods will not be useful, however, any kind of loss of control is
not excusable and I have since tendered an unreserved apology to
'Dewunmi. I have always preached against violence and so this is a time
for some reflection.
Again, I apologize and I thank ‘Dewunmi for
accepting my apology.
I would like to thank the hundreds of people who called me and those who sent in messages.
For
more than 20years now, I’ve operated in the Electronic media sector
without a blemish but by this action, I have let myself down and most
importantly I’ve let Family, Friends and the millions of people who look
up to me, down.”
To those who have been clamoring for my response, I thank you for your patience and understanding.
Thank you very much and God Bless.
