Biography
Isah was born in Idanre in Ondo State. In 2009, he founded Brekete Family which first aired on Kiss FM.[2][3] On 17 May 2021, BBC's investigative journalist Peter Nkanga made a documentary about an assault made by Isah against a woman who abused a child.[4][5] Following the report, Isah apologised citing that he has anger issues.[6][7][8] Few days later following the report, Isah was detained by the Nigerian Police in Abuja,[9] and his broadcasting license was revoked by the National Broadcasting Commission.[10][11] Mohammed Eibo Namiji writing for Blueprint said that the backlash was a conspiracy theory against Isah.[12] He was later released from detention.[13]
