‘Seun Okinbaloye vacationing in US, not sacked by Channels TV’

Seun Okinbaloye, a well-known anchor with Channels Television, has not been dismissed from the station.

The report is coming amidst widespread social media speculation from fans and viewers who were concerned about the future of the Politics Today anchor.

FTN reports that Professor Farooq Kperogi, a Mass Communication teacher and renowned newspaper columnist, who personally spoke with Okinbaloye, stated this on Saturday.

In an exclusive conversation on Saturday morning, Okinbaloye assured Kperogi that he is currently on vacation in the United States and remains employed by Channels TV.

Kperogi in a post on his verified Facebook page wrote, “Channel TV’s Seun Okinbaloye has NOT been fired, contrary to social media rumors doing the rounds. I communicated with him a few hours ago, and he said he is on vacation here in the United States and still very much in the employ of Channels TV.”

The United States-based Professor of Journalism quoted Okinbaloye as saying, “Prof, the whole story is fake news.”
