The management of EbonyLife TV has reacted to the sexual assault allegations against one of its presenters, Andre Blaze Henshaw. Henshaw, who is the co-host of the programme, "Men's Corner," has been accused of sexually assaulting OluTimehin Adegbeye, a Nigerian writer and activist.
According to Adegbeye, Henshaw assaulted her two years ago, an allegation that Henshaw has since refuted on social media. Reacting to the situation, Mo Abudu, CEO of EbonyLife TV said;
“I am very concerned about these allegations and I am determined to find out the truth. Naturally, we do not condone sexual assault against or unwanted advances towards women, therefore we are investigating whether there is any merit to these claims. We will issue a further statement as soon as we have more information.”
The accused presenter is popular for hosting shows such as Nigeria's Got Talent. He is also reportedly the voice behind the third edition of Big Brother Naija Double Wahala.
Pulse says Adegbeye is a Nigerian writer, editor and activist, whose work concentrates on questions of gender, sexuality, poverty and feminism
