Olisa Adibua's Official Statement on Assault Incident

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.

Battered Beat FM staff Adewunmi Oyekanmi releases official statement

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.

Radio Presenter, Olisa Adibua Brutally Assaults Colleague

Adewunmi Oyekanmi

The Programmes Director, Beat 99.9 Fm, Olisa Adibua batters his colleague, Adewunmi Oyekanmi, night news editor on the early morning of Thursday, September 8, 2011.

According to sources, Olisa came back to the office from an event and found Adewunmi Oyekanmi sleeping on the couch and attacked him.
 

Adewunmi had decided to catch some rest after doing his duties as a night news editor. Prior to the incident he had been warned by Olisa not to sleep on the couch in the office, and on this fateful early morning, he decided to catch a few winks.

According to Dewunmi, he was woken by a heavy object hitting his head. Opening his eyes, he saw Olisa raining blows on him, kicking him and even smashed his phone on the ground, trampling it with his heel. 

Olisa also ripped his shirt off his body and kicked him off the premises of the office by 3am in the morning. Dewunmi was at the security post when members of staff resumed at dawn. 

 

For this cruel behaviour, four weeks suspension was what Olisa got. But then he was back hosting the Beat Fm Party which held recently.
