There's been a lot of drama and complaints on social media since Tuesday when popular radio presenter, Murphy Ijemba a.ka. 'Radio Paparazzi' and his co-host, Sean Amadi didn't host the regular drive time show called 'Popular Side'.
Murphy Ijemba who has a cult followig on-air particularly because of his witty and energetic style of presentation has since been throwing subtle subliminals against the Larry Izamoje led Brila FM on social media and his followers aren't happy with his absence on air.
Read the statement in full:
In view of enquiries by truly concerned listeners and
patrons on changes within the organization’s Lagos station, management
wishes to inform as follows:
An internal reorganisation that involved transfers and
redeployments of some members of staff was undertaken to strengthen
shifts across all times of the day.
Oge Ogwo, Fabian Amaechi, Jovita Eke, Sean Amadi and
Yinka Oyedele were deployed to new shifts in Lagos with Yinka swapping
positions with Sean , while Lawrence Maxwell (Lagos to Abuja),Victor
Okhani (Abuja to Kaduna) and Dogo Francis (Kaduna to Lagos) were
transferred. Everyone, except Sean ,has reported to their new duty
posts.
Murphy Ijemba was not redeployed from the evening belt .
Indeed, the redeployments notice stated that Murphy retains the
Mon-Friday belt while Dogo Francis, a pioneer member of our Popular Side
Team handles the Saturday and Sunday evening belts when Murphy is
off-duty.
Sean and Murphy have not resumed duty since postings were announced.
They were not sacked and the organization, till date, has
not received a resignation letter from any or each of them. We
reiterate that Murphy was not posted out of the evening belt .
Management was, therefore, shocked to read spurious and
libellous online posts by Murphy against the station, his colleagues and
management.
As shifts have to be handled, the vacated evening belt
post had to be quickly filled by Dogo Francis who headed the same belt
on our Kaduna station.
The company’s employee handbook, signed by every member
of staff upon joining the organisation, gives the company the discretion
on where, when and the time belt employees work.
It also states that duplication of service, particularly
sports service, for self or others while still an employee is against
the terms of agreement made clear when hired with a signed document
binding company and staff. We applaud your comments, calls , questions
and other expressions of care and concern . We will continue to maintain
the high standards that have made us your reference in sportscasting,
the home of the fans.
Thank you.
