Popular Nigerian comedian and Filmmaker, Ayo Makun popularly known as AY has finally responded to colleague, Julius Agwu’s allegations against him.
Recall, Julius, during a radio interview with Naija Info 102.7fm, recounted how he had called AY to request a rescheduling of his yearly Easter Sunday comedy show because it coincided with his own event, Laugh for Christ’s Sake, on the same day.
However, according to Julius Agwu, AY refused and hung up on him.
Addressing his accusations, in a lengthy post on his Instagram page, Ayo Makun, on Wednesday, April 19, brought out proof to prove that he didn’t hijack the Easter Sunday date from him.
He wrote;
“The truth remains the only ultimate power to downplay all the lies in a place where the INTERNET NEVER FORGETS. Dear senior colleague Julius Agwu, my question is, how is it even possible to lay claims to the fact that i took over your Easter Sunday date with the following verifiable facts..
“Slide 2
Confirms that Laff 4 Christ Sake stopped in 2009 and only came back on October 23rd, 2011. The same year I did AY Live on Workers Day May 1st (which obviously was not on Easter Sunday).”

Confirms Laff 4 Christ Sake happening in London on Easter Sunday, April 8th, 2012. (I am here wondering how you intended to do both London and Nigeria the same day).”

“Slide 10
Fast forward to 2023, here we are again with this libelous video that will not be tolerated. Should this continue without any proof to your claims of me bewitching you, i will be filing a slanderous lawsuit against you for consistently trying to damage my reputation.
