Fresh FM presenter slumps, dies searching for cash

A popular presenter with an Ibadan-based private radio station, Fresh FM Nigeria, popularly known as Baba Bintin, has reportedly died after he slumped on his way to the radio station for his programme on Saturday morning.

Baba Bintin who usually speaks Ijesha dialect and addressed as “Boda Olu” and “Uncle” by Komolafe was a comic presenter on Oyin Ado programme on Saturdays on the Radio Station to give updates on markets in the state.

His death was announced during a radio programme by the ace radio twins, Komolafe Olaiya and Olalomi Amole, Oyin Ado on Saturday.

The duo had earlier spoken about the unusual lateness of the presenter to the studio but towards the end of the programme, the presenters announced that he died while trekking from Amuloko to Fresh FM at Challenge this morning (Saturday) with the hope of getting cash from a Point of Sale agent.

In an audio played on the radio, a man said they found him slumped on his way to the office and rushed him to the University College Hospital and was pronounced dead on getting to the hospital.
