Last
September, the name Adewunmi Oyekanmi became quite popular in the news
after the infamous assault incident with BEAT FM exec Olisa Adibua.
Eight months later, Adewunmi has been fired from the company. Sources
say the management was prompted to sack Adewunmi after he had another
misunderstanding with a Naija FM staff - this time over an item which
was missing in the office. Adewunmi was accused of stealing another
staff’s meal – a pack of Jollof rice. Even though, Adewunmi denied the
accusation but a CCTV camera which recorded the whole incident proved
him wrong. Insiders at the Beat insist Oyekanmi was not victimized, but only unfortunate to have been the one caught. ‘Management had been trying to stop the issue of stealing. That’s part of the reason they installed CCTV everywhere, and encouraged all staff to report cases of missing items, so these can be tracked using the CCTV recordings. It’s just unfortunate that he’s the one that was caught. If it had been anyone else, the same fate would have befallen that person’. We could not immediately reach Oyekanmi. A phone call was placed to the General Manger at BEAT FM Deji Awokoya who told us he would get in touch even before we could ask him any questions on the matter. ‘I’m in a meeting, I’ll call you later please, thanks’, Awokoya said over the phone. |
