Popular Nigerian comedian, Bovi has demanded an apology from ThisDay newspaper following its apology to Popular Nigerian pastor, Bishop Oyedepo for a published false report that he was denied U.S visa.
ThisDay editor issued an apology to the Winners Chapel founder, stating that the report was found to be incorrect.
Bovi took to his Twitter page on Tuesday to demand an apology from the newspaper, stating that the apology was incomplete since he and his wife were not mentioned. He claimed that he was emotionally affected by the report .
The comedian went on the offensive and added that he and his wife were used as a spice in cooking the poisonous report but were left out when it was time to apologise.
In the initial report by ThisDay, it was boldly written that Bovi was issued a U.S visa while his wife was denied.
He wrote: “Dear @thisdaynewspaper Editor, I just woke up to your apology to Bishop Oyedepo about the false story you published on him.
“I’m beginning to question wether you even read the story you’re apologizing for in the first place. Because if you did, you will know that in the reporters bid to add sting to the story, it was stated that I was issued the visa while my wife was denied.
“The slide above shows that neither me nor my wife was at the embassy on the said date, as your report suggests. Did you think my name and that of my wife in your sensational story were inanimate objects? Are you trying to measure us? What makes you think that the spice you added in cooking a poisonous meal should not be sifted as you try to purify your brand? Do you have any idea how damaging your story was to our peaceful life? Do you know how many calls and texts we had to respond to because of your story?
“What you have done is irresponsible, unprofessional, condescending and indecent. Your job is based primarily on research and information gathering. So if you really do not know me, note that I’m as global as your mind can imagine.
“If you’re apologizing to the Bishop, it is incomplete without recourse to me and my family.
I urge you to further your education to avoid such errors in future. Thank you.”
