The ‘authoritarian’ Chairman of AIT,Dr Raymond Aleogho
Dokpesi sacked two senior editorial staff, Gbenga Aruleba and Imoni Amarere
over the interview of Mr.Richard Akinnola,frontline social critic and human
rights activist with Aruleba on AIT two days ago on the acquittal of Major
Hamza Al Mustapha where Mr.Akinnola strongly condemned the ‘miscarriage of
justice’ of the judgment as a political judgment to pacify the North ahead of
2015 general elections.
From a reliable source,Chief Dokpesi threw caution to the
wind as he stormed the studio even when the bulletin was still on and stopped
the bulletin after which he lambasted Aruleba over this controversial interview
which he said was in bad taste.
Sadly,Dokpesi followed this up yesterday evening by sacking
Aruleba and Amarere, both are well-trained,talented and experienced
broadcasters, went ahead and announced their sack in the 8pm news bulletin of
last night.
