Actor Ayo Badmus badly beaten by political thugs

The actor tells Vanguard exactly what happened to him on that unfortunate day during the Sallah holidays.
It’s true that I was beaten and almost killed by the thugs guarding the Chairman of Oshodi L.G.A. My wife, my brother and myself went to pay a courtesy to my boss, Tunde Kelani on the Salah day. When we got there, I went round to greet people and when I got to where the Oshodi L.G.A Chairman sat, I wanted to shake him when his brother said I ought to have prostrated.I didn’t reply him even when he started insulting me, saying actors are stupid and useless. I made to leave when suddenly, I saw a group of thugs, numbering up to  twenty  pounced on me and started beating me up.
They broke bottles on my head, kicked me and almost killed me if not for my wife, brother and other people who came to my rescue.I’ve done a lot for the Lagos State Government even without being paid. Why should I then be treated in such a manner like a criminal?  What the Chairman of Oshodi Local Government and his brother did was wrong. They are public servants and should be polite. I never met them before in my life. Neither did I involve myself in any kind of politics. That day was the first time, I set my eyes on them. They probably felt intimidated by my presence and the way people around hailed me.

He should go for a scan. The cut looks deep o. He should avoid parties from now on because they will continue to target him.

The stupid LG boss is probably his age group. Life? The actor should be over 40. Does Tunde Kilani prostrate for this nuisance? Maybe it was a planned attack.

He should make friends with "mad dogs" in the Navy or Army, so that they can whip lash those fools for him. I cannot blame Naval officers for being brutal at times.

That really sucks. Dude is probably like a few years younger than this thieving bastard Oshodi chairman and they are asking him to postrate. I hope he sues and gets some money. Hoever I dont quite believe he did not say anything to the chairman or the brother but regardless of whether he said something or not, they had no right to put their hands on him. Yoruba people and flexing. Respect is earned and reciprocal not forced o aunty, uncle, sister mi, brother mi,, daddy and mummy...stupid people

I really hate a man being beaten in the presence of his wife. very embarassing....

This is what you get when popular opinion is subdued by the action of one powerful man. I just did a background check on the chairman and gathered that he was imposed on the LG by Jagaban (Asiwaju). The name of the guy is Bolaji Ariyo who is in his mid-thirties. He was said to have been one of Tinubu's closet ADCs before he was imposed on Oshodi. His notoriety and arrogance is so legendary that he was rumoured to have been power-drunk even before he was elected. He goes about with retinue of mobile police while his brother, now called 'Baba Oba' has been causing troubles for quite some time. It is also gathered that the Chairman dropped out of LASU because he could not cope with the intellectual rigours of the four walls of the university. Linda, don't censor this comment because these are verifiable facts. Do your background check on him and the truth shall be revealed.

Ayo Badmus needs to charge them to court and sue the whole of oshodi local govt. Including MC olumo and his so called brother. If this was now recorded, all those that are seen in the video should ge jailed for a minimum of 2yrs each and the court should award him 50million naira for damages half which should be paid by MC olumos personal pocket and the other 25.ML from the local govt pocket. Because not only is Ayo a citizen of d country but also a star of the society and should be respected also. His identity was fully known to them when the incident happened and that didn't even stop them. Nollywood u have to also take action. Nonsense!!!!

I believe they showed every one present there and then that they are illiterates and are backward in thinking or how do one better explain this- for a celebrity to prostrate for a public figure, for what? I think this should be taking up legally! Fayoyiwa Samson Babajide

In My own words, let him sue the so called LG leader abi its Mc oluomo.

In as much as I don't fancy our nollywood pple, I kinda respect Ayo Badmus cos I have heard him speak once, he's obviously schooled. Am sure that stupid LG chairman is a drop out or worse still, a stark illiterate! Who is he to av 2 oderlies? Mr Badmus sue his silly ass big time! Prostrate for wat?! For who?! Smh! Is he the oba of Lagos?! Rubbish!!!....Meggy

Ada said...

@ Joseph George, please wen did it become mandatory to prostrate to anyone? If he wanted to then fine, which on is to brutalize someone cos they wont prostrate...pls je ki ori e pe o! I have nothing against prostrating as a way of greeting, but it is never by force...if u deserve respect u will get it, n even if u dont, u move on!

How can u even condone this kind of madness!

​The much spread rumour and campaign of calumny issued by one Actor AYO BADMUS  his alleged humiliation and beaten, ordered by the OSHODI/ISOLO LG GOVT Chairman is nothing but a complete RUSE...Fabricated τ̅☺ damage and create some frivolous attention and gain unnecesary sympathy for himself from people...The Amiable Oshodi/Isolo Chairman Hon BOLAJI ARIYOH is a core fan of our own very Nollywood stars, someone who will never stop τ̅☺ support and promote our culture both at the Local&International Level....Its so regrettable τ̅☺ imagine how cheap the actor is going around, spreading fake rumours and claiming τ̅☺ have been badly beaten by some faceless thugs, as ordered by the Chairman's elder brother (BAYO ARIYOH) a quiet, reserved and friendly fellow at the Chairman's Sallah celebration that attracted the presence of notable acts like GBENGA ADEYINKA 1st and some others who witnessed the occassion and could attest τ̅☺ this message....Please re broadcast this and let friends know the truth behind the boisterous rumour....Thanks!....

Bolaji Ariyo, it's a shame that you're such a power drunk person. I've heard about your arrogance; now I know ur brother is no better. You r not worthy 2 hold a political post cos u're a tout but Tinubu imposed u on Fashola. Eyin ole, alaileko gbogbo. Thieves.

Heya!!!! He has learnt his lesson; Well i am a govt official so i am a lil bit smart for all this Useless Rogues cos this things happen everyday to people that they dont like or people that intimidates them; If i go to such occasion i dont greet everybody i only go for people i know and shake them; with this no body will dear tell u that u did not prostrate or....blah blah! One particular occasion i met Oluomo at the Launching of a Magazine and they recognized me may be because of my lil contribution to the youths in the area;i was well applauded, but immediately i found out that they did not like it. I declined to sit on the High table with them i then, made contact to my brother in-law who is a captain in the Army and my friend who is the O.C of a Mobile police special Guard, explaining to them that i am somewhere i am not comfortable and i gave them the details of people present. In fact the way i was whizzed out of that place i did not know it is a story for another day; but i left immediately after my speech. so in such occasions guys just be at alert and if u know anybody in the military let them know your situation; For all i know GOD is still the Greatest Protector.

Linda, I think you should try and get your facts right so as not to discredit your blog..dis neva happened..wat if its just the losing party trying to discredit the man..

Anonymous said...

If what you said is right...they will say sorry even if they killed you they will say sorry to your family and their masters will formulate stories to cover them up...if you see the government or tinubu telling a story about what happened who will say No! becos they are public figures, we believe what they are saying is fact. but for me...pray very hard to punished him and to let him sees it b4 he left the earth...

fact: prophet Muhammed said: Allaah will surely receive the calling of some 3 people.1. who fast 2. who travelled 3. who we betray. they have betrayed us surely they shall sees it.
