Nigerian journalist Seun Okinbaloye has not been sacked as presenter by Channels Television.
Yesterday, rumours spread like wildfire that he had been dismissed as he has not been anchoring his Politics Today show for a while.
Instead, Geoffrey Uzono has been filling in for him.
However, Nigerian columnist Farooq Kperogi dispelled these rumours on Saturday, stating that Seun is on vacation in the United States and will be back soon.
Kperogi wrote on Facebook:
“Channel TV’s Seun Okinbaloye has NOT been fired, contrary to social media rumors doing the rounds.
I communicated with him a few hours ago, and he said he is on vacation here in the United States and still very much in the employ of Channels TV. “Prof, the whole story is fake news,” he said.
