Al-mustapha And Press Freedom. AIT ,Dokpesi Sacked 2 Senior Editorial Staff by oluwafemi113(m): 9:19am On Jul 14, 2013
Al-Mustapha and press freedom :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.If this is not a gag on free press,then fellow Nigerians must invent another word to describe this jungle justice in a democratic Nigeria.I am very sure late Chief Gani Fawehinmi must be turning with anger,hatred and disappointment in his grave right now.Which way Nigeria?Whose political agenda is this Businessman pursuing?Let's discuss objectively fellow Nigerians.

D Gbenga & Amarere I know shudnt hav bn sacked outrightly. But their conclusion on Mustapha's acqiutal is very wrong, incisive & unprofessional.

Did dey read d jugment? No, otherwise, dey would hav known dat Rodgers d star witness desroyd his own evidence wen he turned round to discredit his own Statement to d security agencies. No court of justice would sustain a conviction,death sentence 4 dat mata,in such circumstance.

Gbenga & Imoni were merely playin 2 d galery; bt dey clearly overshot their bounds.

Either youre a dunce or youre just being deceitful:

YOU THINK DOKPESI WANTS GEJ TO SET HIM UP AGAIN AND HIT HIM WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF "NA WE BOMB ON BEHALF OF DOKPESI" and "WE DEY GO COLLECT THE BALANCE FROM DOKPESI BECAUSE NA WE DO AM" ?

But I dont understand why everything done in Nigeria should now be related to 2015 elections just because GEJ is seen as interested in seeking re-election.

There's crisis in Rivers State House of Assembly, its because of 2015. But before the crisis in Rivers State House of Assembly, there has been similar crisis in Adamawa and Kogi. Were those also because of 2015?

There is crisis in the Nigeria Governors Forum, its because of 2015.

The president flagged off construction of Lagos-Ibadan road, its because of 2015

Preliminary works on the Second Niger Bridge begins, its because of 2015

Jonathan flags off construction of Enugu Airport international terminal, its 2015.

Al Mustapha was discharged and acquitted by the judiciary, its because of 2015. But this same judiciary convicted him earlier.

The govt sets up Boko Haram amnesty committee, its because of 2015

The govt declares State of Emergency in 3 states, its because of 2015

In fact, these days if the president raises his hands, its because of 2015. If he puts down his hands, its because of 2015.

Its getting boring. Maybe everything should now standstill as we approach an election that is still about 2yrs away. Even if the president and his govt standstill, vultures will still find away of linking it to 2015.

I think these vultures should be told that LIFE is much more than elections. Nigerians are not interested in holding elections everyday. What they want is good roads, stable power, good health care, portable water supply, efficient rail transport system, an efficient aviation sector, jobs and more jobs,etc

I love Gbenga Arulegba and his programme, Focus Nigeria but I think in recent months he's been taking sides with his ACN brothers in the southwest. Even on the ongoing Rivers crisis, Gbenga has not hidden the fact that he is taking sides with Amaechi.

The case of Gbenga is just like Punch newspaper, which used to be a very powerful medium but fell when post-2011, it became ACN mouth-piece.

Imoni Amarere is also a very brilliant journalist who I respect alot. Post 2011 elections, he became un-repentantly anti-Jonathan. I noticed recently that he has since soft-peddled on his anti-Jonathan stance. He's been presenting 90minutes, a programme where public office holders account for their stewardship. So far, some federal ministers have appeared on the programme.

Notwithstanding, the bias of Gbenga and Imoni, I still loved to watch their programmes. I will surely miss them, if truely they were sacked. They are fantastic journalists.

This is a lovely news, now that imoni and aruleba has been sacked let them open their own station and invite activist,senseless noisemakers and the collective children of anger(acn/cpc/e-rats) for interviews. Nigerian media are so so annoying, misinforming the public with unverified and un-investigative reports(channels comes to mind). They take pleasure in inviting brainless activists, angry and hating opposition, internet-rats(with facebook &bb IQ) to come and insult Nigeria and The President as if it is the latest thing in town. Dokpesi is a bizman and must protect his empire. Shey imoni and arulegga na activism go give their jobless azzes food chop.?

More like it Bro

Infact AIT is d least of Dokpesi's business interest for those who don't know

Dokpesi is a big-time player in d maritime industry wt 3 vessels that I know of and he is one of d mega contractor of NLNG....infact he graduated from a Bulgarian university as a Marine Engineer

D presidency only has 2 signal dat his contract supplies be discontinued by dis agency n he will start growing lean hence he is left wt no choice than to choose his pecuniary or business interest over professionalism

Its only d uninformed that will not see d handiwork of d ogas @ d top in dis latest clamp down

The man probably must av decided nt 2 continue to take d flak 4 his staff's indiscretion

After God,its Government...hence one nids to credit whoever that is in opposition cos d scrutiny,persecution and economic clampdown dey tend to contend with is humongous
