Rapper Ruggedman recently took to Twitter to criticise the way Channels TV presenters addressed Lagos State Commandant of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corp (NSCDC) Obafaiye Shem who was speaking as a guest on its breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily.

The interview soon after sparked a phenomenon known now as #MyOgaAtTheTop.

Read his tweets here:

@channels_tvYou should protect the guest as well while remembering that he is not omniscience. Via @dastormgbemiga of @konknaijamedia
