Rufai Oseni: “The High Chief Lied, I’m Not On Suspension From Work”

By Adesina Soyooye

Rufai Oseni, Arise News Anchor, has put a lie to an Online post that he has been suspended from work by the  Management of Arise Television.

In response to the post by one High Chief Lawrence Igbins Okoro which sparked the rumour, Oseni dismissed it as lies from the pit of hell.

In the past few days, Oseni, one of the Anchors of Arise Television’s popular programme, The Morning Show, has been absent from the programme. While it is not unusual, and could have been caused by a number of reasons, including  outside assignments, Okoro’s post on the Social Media attributed it to a suspension slammed on him for being rude to a superior Staff.

According to the post, Oseni engaged in a heated argument with his superior in the office, and banged his hand on the table. The action, the post  alleged, shocked not a few, and thus, earned him a suspension.

But in a swift reaction on his X page, Oseni refuted both rumours of his  unruliness in office and subsequent suspension as fake. He is facing no disciplinary action from his employers, he clarified.

On the contrary, he disclosed, he is on a working visit to Germany.

Oseni: “This is a lie. The man is lying. I am on a working visit to Germany. This is fake news. Kindly report that account.”
