JUST IN: Channels TV Host Seun Okinbaloye Refuses to Be Intimidated by Wike Threat
Channels TV journalist Seun Okinbaloye has declared he is “not afraid” following controversial remarks by Minister Nyesom Wike, who had earlier said he would have “broken his TV screen and shot” the journalist over comments about the dangers of a one-party system in Nigeria. The statement drew widespread criticism, including from Amnesty International, which condemned it as reckless and violent.
Okinbaloye, responding on Sunday, reaffirmed his commitment to journalism and democratic principles, emphasizing that threats and violent rhetoric have no place in society. He also revealed that Wike contacted him directly to clarify his intentions, but stressed that dissent must never be met with hostility. “Let me clear: I am not afraid and I will never be intimidated,” Okinbaloye said, promising to continue asking critical questions and holding power to account.
