Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has publicly criticised Arise TV anchor Rufai Oseni, accusing him of disrespecting guests and lacking moral authority on national television.
In a viral video circulating on social media, Edochie referenced an incident in Lagos where Oseni was reportedly caught driving in a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lane.
“Is this not the same Rufai Oseni who, when caught, shouted, ‘Do you know who I am? I’m going to call the governor of Lagos State’ instead of apologising?” Edochie asked.
He claimed Oseni only offered an apology after the incident was recorded on video.
The actor further criticised Oseni’s confrontational approach during interviews.

“How can you invite somebody and make the guest uncomfortable? If a guest is not comfortable, the first thing you do is apologise and make them feel at ease. Telling them they are free to walk out is not journalism,” Edochie stated.
Edochie also defended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, urging critics to show respect and give his administration time to succeed.
“Jagaban President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the President of Nigeria, whether you like it or not. Give him time; Rome was not built in a day,” he added.
The video has sparked debate online, with many weighing in on the standards of journalism and the role of public figures in holding media personalities accountable.
