Ahmad Isa; The Ordinary President Slaps An Interviewee while Broadcasting

Isah’s assault was caught in a popular BBC Africa Eye program by journalist Peter Nkanga

Confusion rocks loyalists of radio presenter, Ahmad Isah, funly called ‘The Ordinary President‘ after he slapped a woman during a BBC interview which has gone viral, leaving viewers stunned.

The Ordinary President,
a human rights campaigner broadcasts a show on Human Rights Radio
101.1 in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital. Isah rose to prominence as a result
of his use of his platform to enable folks to tell their experiences
against injustice.

Isah asked how she confirmed the girl was a witch.

“Nobody…I
don’t know what came over me. Please, I’m begging for forgiveness.”
“Tell me what happened, I’ll give you one last chance”, Isah commanded.
“I don’t know what happened”, the woman replied. Isah, within a few seconds, lost his cool and slapped her.

“It’s
a form of mob justice”, Nkanga protested. Nigerians on Twitter are
condemning the action and accusing the Brekete anchor of taking laws
into his hands. Lilian Ogazi wrote: “Absolutely nothing justifies this!

The
height of unprofessionalism on all levels! A slap! I wonder how many of
these we don’t see….. Human rights!… That’s raw assault on tape. And
Its wrong.

Let’s say the truth! “He has absolutely no right or
authority to lay his hands on her. He assaulted her and has committed a
crime, and did so on camera for us to see? This is beyond messiah
complex. This is anti human rights”, Jake Okechukwu Effoduh tweeted.
