Ace Fuji musician, King Wasiu Ayinde, has been accused of
assaulting a popular broadcaster, Wole Sorunke, fondly addressed as MC Murphy
in Ogun State.
It was learned that the duo of Ayinde and MC Murphy met
on Thursday at the 60th birthday party of the Olu of Itori, Oba Abdulfatai
Akamo.
They were both invited separately to perform at the event as
musicians and presenters respectively.
But, MC Murphy accused the Fuji maestro of beating him blue
and black at the occasion.
Speaking on Friday, the compere told newsmen that he was
attacked after he had taken someone to the stage to be eulogised by Ayinde.
Sorunke said Ayinde, popularly known as KWAM 1, shockingly
ignored him and his client as they left the stage.
According to him, the singer allegedly pounced on him with
the aids of some of his boys, who were identified as KC and Gaji, where he was
sitting.
MC Murphy, while showing journalists his swollen cheeks and
lips, maintained that Ayinde had later apologised to him; saying, however, that
he did not want the incident to be swept under the carpet.
Reacting to the incident, broadcasters under the auspices of
Freelance and Independent Broadcasters Association of Nigeria, on Friday,
lambasted Ayinde over the alleged assault on one of them.
FIBAN President, Desmond Nwachukwu, expressed disappointment
in the Fuji star, saying the act was unbecoming of someone holding the title of
‘Mayegun of Yorubaland’.
The FIBAN President appealed to the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba
Lamidi Adeyemi, to strip Ayinde of the title he bestowed on him.
Meanwhile, Ayinde’s media manager, Kunle Rasheed, has denied
the allegations.
Rasheed said his boss had no involvement in any violence
that occurred at the event.
In a terse response, Rasheed, said nothing of such happened
at the party.
He added that anything that happened to the compere at the party had nothing to do with Ayinde.
