Assault Saga: Official Statement From The Beat 99.9FM!!!

The management team can confirm that there was an
altercation between our Programmes Director Olisa Adibua and our editor Adewunmi
Oyekanmi. We are fully investigating the incident and have placed Olisa Adibua
on a four-week suspension as a precautionary measure while he cooperates fully
with the investigation. Adewunmi Oyekanmi is also assisting us with the
investigation. As a responsible organisation, the management of THE
BEAT 99.9FM condemns any form of violence, assault and abuse, and, will not
condone any such act by ANY member of staff.

The BEAT of Lagos event that occurred on the 9th of
September, in which Olisa co-hosted with our other BEAT 99.9 presenters, was a
jointly staged event with a partner. This partner was made aware of the
situation and still requested that we honour the existing contract with his firm
which stated that all presenters, including Olisa Adibua, be present at the
event.

We assure our listeners, friends, partners and all
concerned parties that decisive actions will be taken, and enforced. The
management of the BEAT 99.9FM is already putting in place measures to prevent a
repeat of such an unfortunate incident.

Thank you for your
understanding,

The Management

THE BEAT 99.9FM
