Gabriel Afolayan who played the role of an emerging reporter in the TV has denied the allegation that he attacked the media in the new movie, Heroes and Zeroes. Acting musician starred as Dibu Ijele, a reporter for a weekly tabloid, Naija Scene, in the movie.
“For me, I believe that as an actor, I should be able to act any role no matter how demanding it is. The role I played in 'Heroes and Zeros' as a bad-boy journalist who goes about scooping people’s dirty secret is one role I cherish because I was able to reveal some of the rots in the media.
"I believe it is a form of campaign against what I call 'dirty journalism' which believes that it is only the negative sides of celebrities and people in the limelight that should be reported. And the role is not a ‘collective slap’ on members of the fourth estate; it is just a movie exposing the rot in the system as a whole,"
