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.

Top Music Producer, Gbenga Leo Marks 45 Years in Music with Lagos Celebration

By Alhaji Arems (Baba Fuji)

 

Otunba Gbenga, popularly known as Leo Taiwo, will be celebrated for his 45-year journey in the music industry at a special event scheduled for Tuesday, May 5, 2026, in Lagos.

 

The event, set to hold at the Radio Lagos Marquee Hall in Agidingbi, Ikeja, is expected to bring together friends, family, and associates to honour a career defined by longevity and consistent contribution to Nigeria’s Fuji music scene.

 

Though not widely in the public spotlight, Leo Taiwo is regarded within industry circles as a respected figure whose work has spanned decades. His role as a music producer and collaborator has positioned him among the quiet contributors who have supported the growth and continuity of Fuji music over the years.

 

The celebration is slated to begin at 2 p.m., with guests expected to observe a white dress code. Attendance will be by access card, with caps and gele serving as entry identifiers.

 

Fuji star King Sule Alao Malaika is billed to lead the music for the occasion, while popular hosts Ifankaleluyah and Tokunbo Marvins will anchor proceedings.

 

The choice of venue underscores the cultural relevance of the event. Radio Lagos has long been associated with the promotion of indigenous music, making it a fitting location for a milestone rooted in tradition and legacy.

 

Reaching 45 years in any creative industry is a notable achievement. In a genre that has evolved across generations, such longevity reflects both resilience and sustained relevance.

 

As preparations continue, the event is shaping up to be not just a celebration of one man’s journey, but also a moment to acknowledge the enduring community behind Fuji music.

Faaji Unlimited : Omo-Opeki Announces ‘Step Up,’ ‘Multi Talented,’ And ‘God’s Mercy’ — A Historic 3-in-1 Fuji Album Set For April 8 Release

 Faaji Unlimited : Omo-Opeki Announces ‘Step Up,’ ‘Multi Talented,’ And ‘God’s Mercy’ — A Historic 3-in-1 Fuji Album Set For April 8 Release

By Alhaji Arems (Baba Fuji) 

Alhaja Queen Isimot Abake Abiola, widely known as Omo-Opeki, is stepping into a defining moment in her career with the official announcement of her ambitious 3-in-1 Fuji album. Titled Step Up, Multi Talented, and God’s Mercy, the project is scheduled for release on April 8 — a date that also marks her birthday.

 

More than a strategic rollout, the timing signals intention. It frames the project as both a personal milestone and a cultural statement, positioning the veteran Fuji act at the center of a conversation that extends beyond music.

 

A Three-Part Statement of Growth, Identity, and Gratitude :
By unveiling the titles of the three albums, Omo-Opeki transforms what was once a bold concept into a fully realized artistic vision.

Each title carries its own thematic weight:
• Step Up suggests progression — a conscious elevation into a new phase of artistry and influence

• Multi Talented highlights range, reinforcing her versatility within a genre that rewards depth and endurance.

• God’s Mercy reflects gratitude, pointing to the spiritual and personal journey that underpins her career.

 

Together, the albums form a layered narrative. Rather than a single body of work, the 3-in-1 structure allows for a broader exploration of identity, sound, and storytelling — a format that aligns naturally with Fuji’s tradition of extended compositions and expressive delivery.

 

April 8 : More Than A Release Date :
Choosing April 8 as the release date adds a deeper layer of symbolism to the project. Birthdays often represent renewal, reflection, and forward momentum — themes that mirror the essence of the album titles themselves.

 

For Omo-Opeki, the alignment of her birthday with such a significant release suggests more than coincidence. It positions the moment as a personal and professional convergence — one that celebrates longevity while signaling evolution.

 

In an industry where timing can shape perception, anchoring a major release to a date of personal significance strengthens the narrative around it. It becomes not just a drop, but a moment of declaration.

 

Rewriting the Narrative for Women in Fuji :

Fuji music, deeply rooted in Yoruba Islamic and Apala traditions, has long been shaped by male dominance in both performance and large-scale releases. While female artists have contributed significantly to its growth, landmark projects of this magnitude have rarely been associated with women.

 

Omo-Opeki’s 3-in-1 album challenges that precedent.

Executing a multi-volume release demands more than creative output. It requires strategic planning, financial commitment, audience loyalty, and the confidence to carry such weight within a traditional space. By taking on this scale, she is not only expanding her own catalog but also redefining what is possible for female Fuji musicians.

Leadership Beyond The Studio :
Beyond her work as a recording artist, Omo-Opeki serves as the President of the Elite Women Musician Association of Nigeria (EWMAN). Her role within the organization reflects a broader commitment to advocacy, mentorship, and structural support for women in the music industry.

This dual position — as both artist and leader — strengthens the significance of her upcoming release. It reinforces her credibility not just as a performer, but as a figure actively shaping opportunities for others.

 

Balancing creative output with industry leadership is no small feat. Yet, it adds weight to the moment, positioning the album as part of a larger narrative around representation and access.

 

A Strategic Moment For Fuji in a Global Era :
The announcement arrives at a time when Afrobeats continues to dominate global conversations, often overshadowing indigenous genres. In this context, bold releases within traditional spaces carry added importance.

 

A project of this scale does more than spotlight an individual artist — it draws attention back to the genre itself.

 

By delivering a 3-in-1 album with clear thematic direction and symbolic timing, Omo-Opeki is contributing to a renewed visibility for Fuji. It becomes a reminder that the genre remains dynamic, evolving, and capable of commanding attention on its own terms.

A Defining Chapter in Motion :
With Step Up, Multi Talented, and God’s Mercy, Omo-Opeki is not just releasing music — she is curating a moment that blends personal significance, artistic ambition, and cultural impact.

 

April 8 will mark more than a birthday. It will stand as a milestone in her journey and, potentially, a turning point in the narrative surrounding female artists in Fuji music.

 

As the date approaches, anticipation continues to build. But beyond expectation lies something more enduring — the sense that this release is not just about what is coming next, but about what it makes possible going forward.
