This past weekend, Nicholas Ibekwe, an investigative reporter, released what is purported to be audio evidence of T.B Joshua bribing journalists. And now, he is speaking out on why he decided to make the audio recording public.
Here’s a quick recap of what is in the audio recording: A man said to be T.B Joshua, is heard offering N770,000 (which would amount to N50,000 per person) to journalists who are covering the building collapse, to “fuel their car.” Joshua is then heard telling journalists what angle to take the stories from, emphasizing that they should focus more on reporting about the survivors than the casualties.
According to Ibekwe, he was the only journalist who did not accept the money.
