AYEFELE CLARIFIES INTERVIEW WITH FORMER ASSASSIN
Read Time:1 Minute, 15 Second
Dr. Yinka Ayefele, a well-known gospel singer and radio host, has addressed the public controversy around his recent radio interview with a purported former murderer who is now an evangelist. The broadcast sparked controversy as listeners asked Ayefele to identify the visitor and denounce him to the authorities. The man claimed to have used over 80 people in ritual rituals.
Critics accused the Tungba gospel singer of hiding the name of a self-confessed former murderer, which led to outrage. In a phone interview with viral media celebrity Yinka TNT, Ayefele defended his stance, stating that he had strictly followed the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation’s (NBC) protocols by keeping his guest’s identity private.
According to Ayefele, he sought consent from the guest, who preferred to remain anonymous, a decision in line with broadcasting protocols. “The NBC code includes NTBB (Not to be Broadcast) guidelines, and since social media platforms like Facebook entered the scene, we always ask guests if they want their faces shown online. The final decision is theirs,” he explained.
Ayefele further revealed that the guest, who has since reformed, served time in prison before becoming an evangelist. “The individual isn’t a traditional priest but a former assassin. He confessed to having participated in armed robberies along the Osogbo expressway and has been imprisoned eleven times. During the interview, I asked if he was prepared to face arrest, and he said he was, as he had already served his term and the offences weren’t new,” Ayefele noted.
