Chairman Of Ondo State Radio Station, Breeze FM Brutalises Female Staff For Tendering Resignation Letter

Tokunbo allegedly withdrew his shoe and struck the lady in the head before unleashing a barrage of blows on her Social media junks! They have started again! Ask them to produce evidence or witnesses even the Bimpe and Toyin they won't be able to do that. I pick holes in the story. When has it become the duty of a Chairman of an organisation to accept employee resignation? What happens to their HR? How will a Yoruba graduate occupying the role of OAP assume the role of an Accountant? Is there no other staff member in the Account department? How can a known radio station in the calibre of Breeze FM be paying an OAP 25k in this age and time? Anyways, since the supposed victim is Igbo and the supposed assaulter is Yoruba, food is surely ready for those who will believe any news!

➜Justice for Mercy!! But I mean, given the history of the radio station that she must have been aware of, she could have tendered the resignation with about 1 month-2 months notice and a week to her exit, go on some urgent personal mission, astalavista to them forever, not care about any reference. Financially troubled people(the radio station cum acting chairman) are often angry irrational people. Better to avoid messy confrontations than being right. Nonetheless, justice for Mercy!!

Especially private schools owners; is like there's an occultic forum that naturally turns them to weak-ed people once they open even a one bedroom nursery school

Kobojunkie:
Are you people OK at all? Why should she walk on shells around another human being? She is the victim here and the perpetrator has absolutely no right to assault her even if she decided to walk off the job right on air.

Up to 2024, some OAP earn as little as 25,000 Naira per month, while temporary workers are paid as little as 10,000 Naira, in direct violation of Nigerian labour rules and the Minimum Wage Act.

➜Like I said, better to avoid messy confrontations than be right. You're saying he has no right. Of course, he doesn't and had no intention to be right. The lady, if she had anticipated that and had the intention to keep herself and not spend time in a hospital, would have been smarter in her approach.
Evils and wrongs abound in the world and not all battles are meant to be fought. There are important fights, and very messy meaningless ones - this was one.

Kobojunkie:
Reason it yourself! In what world would someone anticipate a brutal assault for merely submitting a resignation letter because he/she is sick and tired of being paid peanuts? This is were most of the problem in that country comes from... from those of you always too quick to make excuses/accomodations for the most stewpid of things. Why are you folks so disingenuous abeg!

Chairman Of Ondo State Radio Station, Breeze FM Brutalises Female Staff For Tendering Resignation Letter

Tokunbo allegedly withdrew his shoe and struck the lady in the head before unleashing a barrage of blows on her



Mr Tokunbo Opebi, the acting chairman of an Akure-based radio station Breeze 91.9 FM, has been accused of beating and assaulting a former member of staff of the station Mercy Okafor for tendering his resignation letter.

It was learnt that the incident which took place on Tuesday at the premises of the station located along Ijoka Road in Akure has further exposed the abusive nature of some media owners in Nigeria.

Source privy to the incident mentioned that Okafor joined the station as a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) corps member but was offered employment by the station after she completed her service.

“Mercy Okafor is a bundle of talent. She is Igbo but she has a Bachelor’s degree in Yoruba language. I heard her mum is from Ile-Ife; her versatility and her command of Yoruba Language attracted people to her. They begged her to stay after her service.” the source said.

According to the source, when the station's accountant, Bisola Agbayewa, gave birth and went on maternity leave, Okafor was asked to fill in for her, which she did admirably.

When the leave expired, the accountant did not return and instead resigned, so Okafor became both an accountant and an OAP at the station.

"Breeze 91.9 FM has the worst payment package of any radio station in Akure, Ondo State's capital," the source claimed.

Up to 2024, some OAP earn as little as 25,000 Naira per month, while temporary workers are paid as little as 10,000 Naira, in direct violation of Nigerian labour rules and the Minimum Wage Act.

These payments are not made on time or as scheduled. According to a credible source, some of the workers had not received full payment for the month of December as of February 5th, 2025.

According to the source, Okafor submitted her resignation letter and notified the station's management of her plan to leave the organisation. When she finally turned in the company's data, all hell broke loose.

The chairman reportedly told her she should have stayed until the station found a replacement, but she told him she had already given the station notice, which they had ignored.

Infuriated by her courage, Tokunbo allegedly withdrew his shoe and struck the lady in the head before unleashing a barrage of blows on her.

“It took the Intervention of Bimpa Dele-Mogaji and Joyin Johnson to free Okafor from the hands of Tokunbo who was throwing punches at the young lady,” the source said.

“Tokunbo is responsible for almost all the woes that have happened to that station. If you stay you won’t get paid regularly, if you leave you might get arrested on trumped up allegations. Who has he not arrested and detained, from former engineer to marketer to OAP?" he lamented.

“If you honourably tendered your resignation letter before the end of the month you will never get the salary for that month or any other outstanding pay."

Mercy Ekene Okafor who is the victim of the recent physical assault has reportedly received treatments for internal injuries sustained from the assault.

Her mother and some relatives came to Akure on Thursday to take her home to Ile-Ife for treatment.

“No allegation of financial misappropriation was brought against her, Tokunbo simply said he beat her up like that because he didn’t like the tone with which she responded to him," the source said.

Attempts made to reach the general manager of the station Sunday Ajongbolo and the acting chairman were unsuccessful.

➜In what world would someone anticipate...I would answer your rhetoric: this present world where Mercy Okafor was battered and many cases previously. This is reality of the world, ok? No one is justifying anything. And also, a point of note, even if a person wants to fight off wrong, evils, injustices, etcetera, one must first acknowledge its presence.
So, perhaps you're living under a rock or you're a monk in Tibetan, to let you get clarity, this is what happens in the world. Your complaining or whining doesn't change it. Demand for justice or actions towards justice could change it though, but you, you must acknowledge its presence first and realize no one is accommodating anything, but picking their battles wisely.

Kobojunkie:
The same Mercy Okafor whom you claim should have anticipated the attack on her person, to begin with? You lot are really pathetic! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

What next? Poison victims should also anticipate the poisoning of their food when next they go to eat with their neighbors or friends. Nonsense! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
