Radio Presenter Ahmed Isah assaults interviewee who allegedly burnt a child alive.
Ahmad Isah, a human rights campaigner and also the host of the Berekete Family TV show has been under scrutiny for assaulting an interviewee who allegedly burnt a child alive.
Ahmad Isah, a human rights campaigner and also the host of the Berekete Family TV show has been under scrutiny for assaulting an interviewee who allegedly burnt a child alive.
The TV host was seen in a BBC documentary slapping a woman who was accused of setting her brother’s daughter on fire over an allegation that the girl is a witch.
Prior to the scene when the suspect appears on the program, the activist is seen listening to the story from the girl’s mother and another third party.
Thereafter, Isah places a telephone call to a top police officer in Abuja and asks that security agents be directed to arrest the suspect.
When the lady is arrested, she is brought to the program for questioning.
However, while the human rights campaigner is questioning the lady who allegedly committed the crime, Isah slaps her more than three times as seen in the documentary.
The series of slaps come when the lady is reluctant to answer the question about where she got the information that the girl is a witch.

Meanwhile, he had earlier crowdsourced the sum of N2 million for the treatment of the girl in the hospital.
Ahmed Isah, popularly known as the ordinary president, hosts a program titled: “Berekete Family” which is aired on Human Rights Radio 101.1 in Abuja and streams online via social media platforms.
The program offers ordinary citizens the opportunity to tell their stories bordering on the injustice they have experienced.
The incident has become a controversial debate on Twitter, many people accusing the host of unprofessionalism.
Ordinary President is beyond a presenter. He has done more for ordinary Nigerians than all the human right/consumer protection A's put together. At his level, don't expect him to be romantic, although he gets quite emotional at times.
A slap is nothing compared to what she did.

Those of you foaming at the mouth about Ordinary president slapping that demon. Please look at the damage she caused. This girl might not grow hair on her head anymore without surgery.

F everyone applauding Ordinary President for the so-called unprofessional conduct and unethical display shown in the clip. You guys are worse than the government, SARS or police you complain about.

A woman poured kerosine on a young girl and light fire on her head and you expect The Ordinary President to behave professionally & rationally?
We need him to take Fearless Energy Drink then interview Desmond Elliot & Uduak so their slaps can be harder!
