ARISE News Channel’s ‘The Morning Show’ anchor, Rufai Oseni, has alleged that there was a politically motivated attempt to silence him by bringing down his Facebook account, describing the move as “malicious.”
In a post shared on his verified Facebook page on Monday, Oseni called on his supporters to take action against what he termed an orchestrated attempt to silence him.
“I need 50,000 people to write to tell Facebook that the attempt to bring my Facebook down is politically motivated and malicious,” he wrote.
The popular broadcaster, known for his outspoken commentary on national issues, added a rallying call to his followers, saying, “Let’s do it.”
Oseni further alleged that the attacks against his social media presence were part of a broader effort to suppress his voice. “They want to silence me,” he declared.
LEADERSHIP reports that Oseni, one of ARISE News anchors, has been vocal on issues of governance, accountability, and civic responsibility, often drawing both praise and criticism for his forthright opinions.

So, I ask those hounding Rufai: What has been the outcome of those questions? Please, take this from me: Anybody criticising Rufai has vested interest in the current political playb or doing so out envy against Rufai or both. Rufai is doing his work, and that is his style. If you don’t like it, don’t go to his interview.

October 16, 2025 at 1:27 pmWhat do you expect Rufai from a system that abhors truth and pardons criminals in the guise of Presidential pardon.
May the Lord strengthen and protect our outspoken and fearless statesmen, judicial and security officers who put their lives on line to condemn criminals and morally boost enforcers
