Brilla Media Unveils Sponsors Of Smear Campaign Against Company & Founder Larry Izamoje

Brila Media, the owner of Nigeria’s premier sports radio station Brila FM, has officially addressed recent allegations and a coordinated smear campaign targeted at its organization and founder, Dr. Larry Izamoje.

The company revealed that the campaign stems from individuals allegedly implicated in fraudulent activities discovered within the organization.

In a statement signed by the management, Brila Media disclosed that an internal investigation uncovered various acts of financial misconduct, including diversion of funds, invoice fabrications, and system manipulation.

These actions reportedly led to losses exceeding N150 million over the past few years. The company has referred the matter to law enforcement, with some suspects already interrogated and confessing to the crimes.

Surprisingly, instead of accepting responsibility, key actors in the alleged fraud have resorted to an online smear campaign against the organization. Brila Media described these actions as an attempt to blackmail the company, evade justice, and portray it as insensitive and anti-employee.

“These individuals have orchestrated a malicious digital campaign against our organization and founder, Larry Izamoje, to deflect attention from their criminal exposure,” the statement read.

As a law-abiding organization, Brila Media has opted to remain silent in recent weeks to allow the appropriate authorities to conclude their investigations. However, the management emphasized its commitment to corporate governance, professionalism, and justice.

“Where necessary, the indicted members of the criminal gang will be revealed at the appropriate time. Criminality will not be condoned, no matter the efforts by those involved to tarnish our reputation,” the statement continued.

Brila Media reassured its business partners, listeners, and fans that it remains dedicated to delivering quality sports broadcasting and upholding its reputation as a trusted brand.

This development underscores the company’s resolve to protect its integrity while standing firm against fraudulent practices. Brila Media’s statement seeks to dispel falsified narratives circulating online and reaffirm its commitment to ethical practices and stakeholder value creation.

Larry Izamoje, widely recognized for his contributions to sports journalism and broadcasting, founded Brila Media, which continues to be a household name in sports entertainment in Nigeria.
