Tunde Ayeni Won't Fall For Sahara Reporters' Blackmail Attempt Over Paternity Tussle | By Biola Ojelade

Without mincing words, Sahara Reporters has consistently presented itself as a cesspool of deception and unethical journalism practice where spurious lies, satanic content, invective and repugnant tirade are fabricated against prominent figures who are not considered ''friends'' or those who fail to pay ''ransom'' for the platform's cheap blackmail.

Yet, the height of reckless and irresponsible journalism was again exhibited in a new year which is the falsehood recently published by Sahara Reporters particularly in a story of a purported paternity tussle between Nigerian seasoned and reputable businessman and former Chairman of defunct Skye Bank, Mr Tunde Ayeni and a female lawyer in Abuja identified as Adaobi Alagwu were involved.

How on earth will Sahara Reporters or anyone else link Tunde Ayeni with such a distasteful scandal? There is no nexus at all. This is an individual known to be a true family man, always building and living an unblemished and exemplary life over the years, a man who has nurtured a robust career in the banking industry and has established good name for himself and for his precious family too, definitely an attempt to drag his name in the mud will simply be an effort in futility.

It is most horrible, reprehensible and unacceptable to see Sahara Reporters quoting sources that can not be verified to substantiate their vicious claims in this latest hatchet job. Obviously this has not only become the staple diet of Sahara Reporters but a defining feature of its ugly practice of gutter journalism. So this current effort was nothing but a sensationalisation of falsehood that is taken too far.

Why did Sahara Reporters condescended so low by taking the affiliation of Tunde Ayeni with  political party or presidential candidate of his choice as their own business? It is an extension of the latter's fundamental rights to exercise his freedom of association with anyone, just like Omoyele Sowore the publisher of Sahara Reporters is also a politician and a Presidential candidate, these are alliances covered by the Nigerian law. 

Ayeni, a very reticent, humble and highly disciplined character has never entertained any extra marital affairs in his life, neither has he engaged in any abortion with Adaobi Alagwu or anyone else, similarly there is no proof to establish paternity of any child or children to him outside wedlock.

It is simply appropriate to put it on record that there is absolutely no iota of truth in any part of that gibberish published by Sahara Reporters and it is nothing but fake news. As a matter of fact it is a total fabrication put together by a desperate and unprofessional media house that seeks to destroy every member of the Tunde Ayeni's family. Sahara Reporters has a consistent record of manufacturing destructive stories about people's private life and this is nothing new, unfortunately for them they have failed woefully. 

The platform is simply a fitted junk mill which always fail to stick to the culture of weighing facts against truths and demanding the other side which are hallmarks of good and excellent reportage. One of the dictums is that as reporters you should not misinform, neither should you build figment of the imagination to tickle fancy or drive traffic to your medium, it is criminal, slanderous, and defaming.

The Sahara Reporters team has crafted numerous set of canons for its recruits; their specialty, to say the least, is taking the frontier of reporting away from facts to the inglorious realm of groundless speculation and dementia. It is an absurdly false and characterless brand of unethical and blackmail journalism whose stock in trade is falsehoods, obnoxious and villainous beer parlour gossips.

To put the record straight, Tunde Ayeni is a developer of a very significant progress in the society; very restless, a purpose-driven entrepreneur who is pushing the frontier of business, taking risks, trying new things and time has shown that he is a real goal getter who has no time for frivolity any any unproductive venture. Therefore no amount of distraction from Sahara Reporters and it's ilk will pull him down or ruin his rising and intimidating profile which has impacted the society in many positive ways.

However, Tunde Ayeni's legal team are already taking up this matter, therefore members of the public are advised to ignore Sahara  Reporters' baseless, ridiculous and desperate fabrications and treat them with the contempt and disdain that they utterly deserve.
