Olisa Adibua Of Beat FmHere’s what happened – from an inside source. 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…..continue

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.

And guess what Olisa’s punishment was for the assault? Four
weeks suspension. But then he was back hosting the Beat Fm Party which held just
yesterday.

Like I said they are trying to cover this up, Dewunmi wasn’t allowed
to
didn’t go to the police to report the incident or talk to the press
(to save the image of the company), and he’s already back at work. But you can’t
do this to someone and get away with it. This is the kind of battery and assault
that cost Chris Brown a lot, unfortunately for us in Nigeria, some people
actually get away with things like this…but it’s time for us to start speaking
up!

I hope someone does something about this. You shouldn’t lay hands on
a colleague or staff and get away with it. Workers are not being protected at
work place and a lot of them keep quiet when things like this happen for fear of
losing their jobs if they go public.

Dont they have  a government agency
that takes up cases like this?
