Olisa Adebua, beast or just inhuman

Recognize this face? well you should.
Olisa Adebua has been a known face in the media industry for a while now so when reports arise that he purportedly beat up a colleague for sleeping on duty, more than a few eye brows will be raised.


Mr. Adewunmi Oyekanmi was the unfortunate party who was caught sleeping

This, unfortunately is how he looked after Adebua was through with him.

What kind of society do we live in when people can get away with doing anything with out fear of repercussion. it has come to our notice that 'Dewunmi was advised against reporting the issue to the police. it was also suggested that this was advised at the risk of him losing his job.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM OLISA ADIBUA 

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 center 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.

All Nigerians have rights and it is when we do not act on them that people get away with all sorts. If we were in America for instance, Olisa would have been sued for battery and emotional distress and 'Dewunmi would have walked away with some sort of consolation and not just a written public apology.

Nigerians, you be the judge.
