Nigerian Entertainment legend Olisa Adibua, batters colleague!

Now this is such an appalling incident, Olisa Adibua was named a Nigerian entertainment legend alongside likes of Ben Murray Bruce and so on, but this man as done did it this time.

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 at Naija Fm, sleeping on the couch and attacked him.

The young university undergraduate 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.

Haba!!!! This is strange!, beating someone, is he your son!!??? Men this man needs to be taught a lesson! I DEY VEX AS I DEY TALK AM!

Here is the story according to the victim:..... Quote
I had already finished my work. It was about 2am and I was asleep on the couch. Not that he can beat me but just because I didn’t want to raise my hand on my boss, I allowed him. He brought a stone from downstairs came back and hit it on my head. Ali (a colleague) was trying to stop him but he threatened to sack him. Everybody’s crossed with me now that I didn’t raise my hand.  I could have passed on from sleep. I was dazed. I know the GM must have seen everything recorded on the camera (CCTV) when he resumed in his office in the morning. He (GM) was just begging me. I’ve been here one year and three months and I’ve never had any problem with anybody. That’s why everybody is shocked that it’s Dewunmi because they hardly hear my voice.

He (Olisa) can’t apologise now. He’s the boss. Someone went to meet him to say I’m injured but he didn’t say anything, he just left. I’ll just take it like that. He (Olisa) told me to go and call anybody I like that he will show me. He has shown me that I know nobody. I’ve left him in the hand of God. GM told him this morning that he’s wrong. I’m not going to tell the police, talk to the papers or go to court because of the image of the company.  Let him go and settle with God. He’s a boss. He has everything more than me. He has money and that’s what he’s trying to show me.

He smashed my phone on the ground. I borrowed this one from someone. Someone packed the pieces (of my phone) into a polythene bag for me and I’ve given it to the Accountant as evidence. I only took my SIM and that’s why I can use it now.  My phone was on the couch.He tore my clothes into shred. It was one of the drivers that gave me the shirt I wore to the hospital. I don’t know if he was drunk.  And it was in a corporate environment. This was before 3am in the morning. We have never had an issue before.  He even threw me out of the premise. I slept in one of the Keke Marwa’s parked outside the office. I later came in about 5.30, 6am when other people were beginning to arrive. He treated me like a common thief.  I was going to wait till 6, 7am when the day’s bright so I could go home.

They said they would take care of my medical expenses and buy my clothes back. I said they shouldn’t worry. When I was going to the hospital the financial director gave me N15, 000 to treat myself and I collected it. He said there was no money bla bla. It’s because I’m not an influential person. I’ll never forget the incident. I know God will fight for me in his own way. People were more disappointed because I’m an easy-going person.

Douglas was around but he didn’t say a word. I feel he was the one who called Olisa to tell him I was sleeping on the couch because up till now he hasn’t said sorry to me. I’ll take care of myself and resume on Sunday. I know the news will suffer today now because there’ll be no one to edit it…
I appreciate this call a lot. God bless you in Jesus name.’
