Apology to Bishop Oyedepo, not complete without recourse to me and my family - Bovi tells ThisDay

Comedian Bovi has called on ThisDay Newspaper to apologize to he and his family over a publication that also involved Bishop Oyedepo of Living Faith Church.

The national daily had reported that a mild drama occurred after Bishop Oyedepo was denied Visa at the US Embassy.

The Newspaper also reported that Comedian Bovi, who was also at the embassy with his wife on the same day, was granted visa while his wife was denied.

The report was described by the US Embassy in Nigeria as fake news, which led to an apology from ThisDay Newspaper to Bishop Oyedepo.

Reacting to the apology, Comedian Bovi stated that it is not complete without recourse to he and his family.

He wrote: "Dear @thisdaynewspaper Editor, I just woke up to your apology to Bishop Oyedepo about the false story you published on him.

"I’m beginning to question wether you even read the story you’re apologizing for in the first place. Because if you did, you will know that in the reporters bid to add sting to the story, it was stated that I was issued the visa while my wife was denied.

"The slide above shows that neither me nor my wife was at the embassy on the said date, as your report suggests. Did you think my name and that of my wife in your sensational story were inanimate objects? Are you trying to measure us? What makes you think that the spice you added in cooking a poisonous meal should not be sifted as you try to purify your brand? Do you have any idea how damaging your story was to our peaceful life? Do you know how many calls and texts we had to respond to because of your story?

"What you have done is irresponsible, unprofessional, condescending and indecent. Your job is based primarily on research and information gathering. So if you really do not know me, note that I’m as global as your mind can imagine.

"If you’re apologizing to the Bishop, it is incomplete without recourse to me and my family. I urge you to further your education to avoid such errors in future. Thank you."
