Nigerian actor and public figure, Yul Edochie, took to social media to voice his concerns about a recent incident involving Rufai Oseni, a news anchor at Arise TV. Edochie expressed his disapproval of Oseni’s conduct during a TV interview with APC chieftain Jesutega Onokpasa, citing unprofessional behavior and potential bias in the conversation.
Through his Instagram account, Edochie criticized Oseni, emphasizing the significance of impartiality in journalism. He stressed that journalists should remain neutral despite their political affiliations and avoid letting personal biases influence their professional duties. Edochie was particularly disapproving of Oseni’s conduct, highlighting the suggestion to his guest to leave the interview if uncomfortable.
The actor’s comments were accompanied by a challenging tone, questioning Oseni’s behavior and authority in being rude to his guests. Edochie’s observations insinuated that this wasn’t the first time such a situation had occurred.
Actor Emeka Amake Eze contributed to the discussion, offering his perspective on the matter. He advised Edochie to select his battles more judiciously and suggested that Edochie’s comments were not coherent. This engagement led to a fan of Edochie cautioning him to show respect for his senior colleague, to which Edochie responded dismissively, raising questions about the fan’s understanding.
Yul Edochie’s history has involved various controversial incidents. In July 2023, actress Rita Edoche had criticized him and his second wife, Judy Austin. Rita Edoche suggested that Austin used supernatural means to win Edochie’s affections and advised her to release him, hinting that he should return to his first wife. These episodes added to Edochie’s history of public disputes and controversies.
