Media personality Ahmed Isah has appeared in another video slapping a man whom he accused of writing names without his permission.
Popularly known in Abuja as Ordinary President, Mr Isah got more exposure after he was featured in a BBC Africa Eye documentary slapping a woman during an interview on his popular radio show Brekete Family which airs on Human Rights Radio 101.1 in Abuja. The woman allegedly set her niece’s hair on fire after accusing her of being a witch.
In a video which surfaced on Wednesday and dates back to October 19, 2020, Isah is seen interrogating a man who claimed he was collating the names of people for the Corporate Affairs Commission’s registration.
“You gather people and write their names?” he asked, standing beside the man.
“I do not gather people, I came for CAC registration. You made an announcement this morning that there are people who dupe others based on the registration. As I came and saw that people were complaining about the cancellation of the registration, so we suggested that this Gwarimpa ward will go by people that are present here so we put their names here. I came here for the CAC, I am not the only one writing names there. I am the only here for the CAC registration, not survival fund,” the man replied.
Isah struck the man in the face with his right hand and asked, “Who commissioned you to write their names? Do you work for the CAC, or presidency or chairman of the local government, who sent you?”
The camera was moved away in the ensuing commotion.
At the end of the video, Isah said, “My apologies to all of you; to everyone watching all over the world, I am but a human being, I got provoked, I got angry because of what happened. I lost control because it had not been long I made an announcement and someone under my nose is doing what I warned against. I could have even pitied someone from afar but he summoned the courage.”
The media personality has been a subject of criticism since the assault video with the woman went viral. He has been interrogated by the police and summoned by the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC).
