Popular Nigerian radio presenter Pius-Junior Opute better known as
OPJ has faced a Magistrates’ Court for allegedly urinating in public.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Wazobia FM OAP was arrested
on May 12, 2014 at Marwa Bus Stop, Lekki after he was caught in the
indecent act. He is also reported to have resisted arrest from local
enforcement authority.
The offence contravened Sections 117 of the Criminal Law of Lagos
State, 2011 and Chapter E5, (9e) of the Environmental Sanitation Law of
Lagos State, 2011. OPJ was then brought before a Tinubu Magistrates’
Court in Lagos on May 20, 2014 where he faced a two-count charge of
‘urinating in a public place’ and ‘resisting arrest’. The Wazobia FM OAP
is said to have plead ‘not guilty’ and was granted a bail of N20,000.
According to reports, the case has been adjourned to June 18, 2014.
Effort to reach management at Wazobia FM for comments proved difficult
as they are yet to return our e-mails.
OPJ hails from the Isoko speaking part of Delta State of Nigeria. He
currently co-hosts the ‘Evening Oyoyo‘ show along with Twitwi on Wazobia
FM 95.1 in Lagos.

Dan Foster quits radio job for broadcasting school
Nigerian-based, US-born radio presenter Dan Foster is set to quit his
radio job for good and start a “Dan Foster Academy” where he’ll be
teaching broadcasting.
Reports claim that the OAP, who joined Inspiration FM station in 2009 after quitting from Cool FM, has turned in his resignation and left the station.
“He also has not been on air this week. ‘He has resigned’” an OAP at Inspiration FM, who would rather not be named disclosed.
However, in a telephone chat with NET, Dan Foster said
‘I’m thinking of leaving, but I’ll still be consulting for them. I’m currently negotiating with management’
Foster said the one thing he still wants to handle is the very popular ‘Praise Jam’ Sunday show which he says he loves. ‘It’s more like a ministry for me. It has touched so many lives, I want to continue with that, and even if that’s the only thing I get to do. I started the show back at Cool FM and did it for free. I was only paid to work on weekdays there.” He said.
He’ll be greatly missed.
