Dino Melaye is not a comedian – Ali Baba
Veteran Nigerian stand-up comedian and actor, Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome, professionally known as Ali Baba, has begged Nigerians to stop referring to Senator Dino Melaye as a comedian, insisting he is not part of the laughter merchants in the country.
The ever-jocular 54-year-old was reacting to social media tag of Melaye as a comedian following his conspiracy theory about 5G link to the spread of coronavirus.
Replying to a Twitter post where anti-corruption campaigner, Kayode Ogundamisi, said:
Famous Nigerian Comedian @dino_melaye claims #coronavirus deaths caused by 5g mobile networks.
The Comedian was once elected a lawmaker in @NGRSenate
The veteran comedian replied: He is not one of us… we take beg God you

Dino Melaye has been at the forefront of the protest against the 5G (5th Generation network) in Nigeria. At a point, the former lawmaker said he received two international calls threatening him to back off from the 5G issue.
In another statement, Ali Baba called out Twitter after a scammer created another account on the platform similar to his.
Ali Baba said,
“Twitter how is it possible for a scammer to open an account with the same name that you verified. Or are you ones cloning accounts now? Because a search should say it’s not available.”
