Exposed: AIT reporter, Rasheed took bribe to blackmail C/River House of Reps member.

A correspondent of AIT in Calabar, Rasheed Olanrenwaju who is attached to the Cross River state government house has unfortunately become a tool in the hands of agents of underdevelopment in Cross River state.

Rasheed who recently reported a fake story gotten on social media about the “Disqualification of Rt.Hon Jarigbe” from contesting in the Cross River Northern Senatorial District Bye-election has gone a step further to justify the money given to him in government house, Calabar few nights ago by accusing the Member of parliament of threat on him.

Rasheed who knows nothing about the member of parliament went on to do a hatchet job by running a story on Naijavoice (a site owned by a Cross River state government appointee, Matthew Okache) to justify the N150,000 he was paid by agents of the Cross River State government.

It is sad to say that journalism has now been abused and degenerated to do the bidding of “Highest bidders” and journalists like Rasheed have allowed themselves to be used as a tool and thus should be shown the way out.

It is pertinent to state that, Rt.Hon Jarigbe Agom hasn’t been disqualified by the PDP and he’s still very much in the Senatorial race.
