Family, friends and fans of popular Yoruba broadcaster and Master of Ceremonies (MC), Soji Omotayo, should be thanking God for his life by now. Why? The print journalist turned broadcaster who likes to address himself as Baaroyin Apede Ara on his programmes both on radio and television was few days back, only a microsecond away from death! He was not involved in an auto crash, nor was he struck by a strange ailment, he was in deed, sentenced to death by machetting in a jungle justice by a man he knew so well as friend and business associate who goes by the name,Kunle Kushimo Agarawu (a car dealer and socialite).

According to a startling revelation on last Friday, 4th September, 2015, edition of a radio programme which airs on Faaji 106.5 fm on Fridays between 10pm to 12am called “Mimi Aye” (The Vicissitudes of Life) and presented by Otunba Yemi Odunodu, Soji Omotayo was a victim of a well orchestrated evil plan which was carried out almost successfully before succour came the way of the lanky independent presenter.

Reportedly, the issue all began with a frantic phone calls to the phone line of Soji Omotayo on Saturday, 22nd August, 2015, by Agarawu which the former was not picking because he was not with his phone. But Soji Omotayo’s Personal Assistant (P.A.), a young lady, who was also in his house on that day later picked the call and Agarawu asked for her boss whom the P.A. said was resting at the time. Agarawu then told the P.A. to tell Soji Omotayo to call him as soon as he woke up because there was a business to be discussed.

 

And when Soji Omotayo later called Agarawu, he urged Soji Omotayo to see him at his house at Oju-Ore in Ota very early the next day over an MC job he just got for him and Soji Omotayo assured him he would squeeze the time to come before going to Church on the appointed Sunday, 23 August, 2015.

Meanwhile, Soji Omotayo then instructed his P.A. who was already preparing to go to her own parents’ house in Abaranje, Ikotun, to stay over for the night in the guest room in his flat so they could go see Agarawu together the next morning. He assured the P.A. he would drop her off at Iyana-Ipaja when going to Church after meeting with Agarawu.

 
And by 6am the next day, Soji Omotayo whose recorded interview with the presenter of the programme was played during the programme to add credence to the story said Agarawu’s phone call was what woke him up at the dawn of the next day.

But in his usual manner, according to Soji Omotayo, he would not talk to anybody so early in the morning until he has prayed. So he said he woke up his wife so they could pray together and after the prayer, he called back Agarawu and Agarawu told him he only wanted to remind him of their meeting because it was very important.

Hence, with his P.A., Soji Omotayo got into his car and headed straight for Agarawu’s house on that fateful Sunday morning and he said Agarawu called him desperately about three times while on the way to monitor his movement but he did not suspect anything untoward.

He added that when he parked in front of his gate, he called Agarawu to inform him that he was at his gate and Agarawu came out promptly to open the gate and asked him to drive in as they could not be discussing outside. Soji Omotayo said when he parked in the compound, Agarawu led him and his P.A. to his sitting room, locked the door behind them, then asked Soji Omotayo if his wife was still in the country as she is based in London.

 

Soji Omotayo responded that his wife who is generally called “Iya Okiki” was still in the country and Agarawu asked Soji Omotayo to call her as he would like to say hello to “Iya Okiki”. When Soji Omotayo put a call through to his wife, he handed the phone to Agarawu and then Agarawu reportedly told the woman that he had just lured her husband to his death because he had just discovered that Soji Omotayo was sleeping with his own wife and he would be machetting him to death!

 

And before the stunned Soji Omotayo could say Jack Robinson, Agarawu reportedly raised up the top of his dress to pull out a razor sharp cutlass tucked into his trousers and aimed a stroke at Soji Omotayo’s head. But fortunately for Soji Omotayo, there was an antidote to cutlass attack on him and he was able to quickly block the cutlass with his hand and the cutlass bounced back.

“Haha, ise wa lara e…”(So you have juju) Was what Agarawu was quoted as saying when he realised the cutlass would not cut his victim. And knowing that if he was able to hit Soji Omotayo’s head with a stroke of the cutlass, the antidote would be neutrslised once there was blood, so he kept targeting the head with multiple strokes and Soji Omotayo kept blocking till Agarawu was finally able to get a stroke on his head which was attended by gushing out of blood from Soji Omotayo’s head.

Meanwhile, Agarawu had pushed Soji Omotayo’s P.A. out of the sitting room when she was trying to prevent him from hitting Soji Omotayo with the cutlass before relocking the door, so it was just him and Soji Omotayo inside. And Soji Omotayo kept mustering all the energy still left in him to struggle with Agarawu as the “butcher” kept machetting different parts of his body with the cutlass with attendant bleeding.

And when it got to a point that Agarawu thought Soji Omotayo had become too weak on the floor and in a pool of his own blood, he opened the door to attack his own wife as well who was part of the people pleading with him from the window to leave Soji Omotayo alone. And as soon as Agarawu got out,Soji Omotayo said he struggled to reach the door and locked himself inside so that Agarawu would not be able to return to finish him up.

Though, Agarawu as presumed by Soji Omotayo, made frantic effort to return to him inside after his wife had taken to her heels for her dear life, and that was when a detachment of police alerted by some of Agarawu’s neighbours arrived.

They rushed Soji Omotayo to the hospital for immediate medical attention as he was losing too much blood already and Agarawu was locked up that morning only to be released later in the afternoon. As at the time the radio programme ended, Agarawu was said to be nowhere to be found as he had reportedly ran away. But thankfully, Soji Omotayo’s life was saved by the prompt medical attention and he was able to live to tell the horrifying story.

Meanwhile, independent findings by this blog have revealed that Agarawu is currently claiming he has convincing photographic evidence to the effect that there was truly an unholy affair between his wife and Soji Omotayo.

Ileya Tonic : King Saheed Osupa Announces New 2-in-1 Album, Acapella & Metamorphosis

By Alhaji Arems (Baba Fuji)

 

 

Veteran Fuji musician King Saheed Osupa is set to release a new 2-in-1 album titled Acapella & Metamorphosis on May 26, 2026.

The announcement was revealed through promotional materials shared across the singer’s official social media pages, where anticipation has already started building among longtime fans of the Fuji icon. The artwork for the project presents Osupa in a calm and regal setting, matching the mature image he has maintained throughout his career.

While full details about the tracklist and featured artists are yet to be officially released, the title of the project has already sparked conversations online. “Metamorphosis” suggests a new phase or evolution, while “Acapella” hints at a more raw or expressive musical direction. Together, both titles point toward a project that may combine classic Fuji elements with a refreshed sound and message.

Over the years, Osupa has remained one of the most respected voices in Fuji music, known for his deep lyrical style, cultural storytelling, and loyal fanbase across Nigeria and beyond. Even as the music industry continues to evolve, the singer has maintained strong relevance, especially among audiences who appreciate traditional Yoruba-rooted sounds blended with contemporary production.

The decision to release a 2-in-1 album also stands out at a time when many artists are focusing on shorter projects and singles. For established acts like Osupa, larger releases often serve as a statement of longevity, consistency, and artistic confidence.

Fans have continued to react positively to the announcement online, with many already counting down to the release date. The project is expected to arrive on major streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Audiomack, Boomplay, YouTube Music, TIDAL, and Deezer.

With the official release now scheduled for May 26, listeners will be watching closely to see what King Saheed Osupa delivers on Acapella & Metamorphosis and whether the project marks another defining moment in his long-running career.

Aesha Mikaelson Returns as Producer: Actress Aishy Announces Powerful Screen Comeback With IJA ORU

 

After years away from the spotlight, Nigerian actress, producer, and media personality Aesha Mikaelson is making a highly anticipated return to the screen with a bold new identity, a renewed creative vision, and a powerful upcoming movie project titled IJA ORU — a project she is also producing.

 

Previously known in the entertainment industry as Aishy, whose real name is Aisat Iyabode Asamu, the actress built recognition through multiple media appearances and interviews across prominent Nigerian publications. Over the years, she became known for her charisma, screen presence, and growing influence within Nollywood and youth entertainment culture.

 

Now reintroduced professionally as Aesha Mikaelson, she is entering a new phase of her career — one that reflects growth, reinvention, and artistic maturity, marked not only by her return in front of the camera but also by her expanded role behind the scenes as a producer.

 

Her comeback project, IJA ORU, is scheduled to premiere on May 22 via Yetunde Barnabas TV on YouTube, marking what many insiders describe as one of the most symbolic independent returns currently building momentum in Nigeria’s digital film space.

 

Produced by Aesha Mikaelson under Quila Visuals Production, the movie blends mystery, spiritual tension, emotion, and psychological storytelling — themes that continue to resonate strongly with modern African audiences. Her dual role as both lead talent and producer underscores her evolution from performer to creative force shaping her own narratives.

 

Speaking on her return, Aesha Mikaelson described the project as more than just another film release.

 

“This is not just a comeback. It is a rebirth — creatively and personally. I took time away from the spotlight to grow, reflect and rebuild my vision as an actress, producer, and storyteller.”

 

Before her hiatus, Aishy gained public attention through several interviews and entertainment features discussing her career journey, personal growth, and experiences in the entertainment industry. Her media presence appeared in outlets including Vanguard Media Limited, Tribune Online, BusinessDay, TMY News, and The Nation Newspaper.

 

Industry observers say the rebrand to Aesha Mikaelson — paired with her step into producing — reflects a broader shift happening among modern Nigerian creatives, moving from conventional celebrity culture into more intentional brand positioning, ownership of creative output, and cinematic storytelling.

 

The visuals surrounding IJA ORU have already generated growing online conversations, particularly for their dark symbolic aesthetic and emotionally charged presentation. Fans and supporters across social media platforms have also welcomed the actress back, describing her return as “long overdue.”

 

The release further highlights the growing influence of YouTube-driven Nollywood distribution, where independent creators and producers like Aesha Mikaelson are increasingly building global audiences beyond traditional cinema systems.

 

With IJA ORU now approaching release, many believe Aesha Mikaelson’s return — this time as both star and producer — could mark the beginning of a major new chapter in her career.

 

For followers who remember the actress as Aishy, the comeback represents nostalgia. For newer audiences discovering her for the first time, it may become the start of a powerful new screen identity led by a creator now firmly in command of her own story.

 

IJA ORU premieres May 22 on Yetunde Barnabas TV via YouTube.
