The renowned broadcaster, until his death was the producer/presenter of “Nkan Nbe” on television and Irinkerindo on radio.

Although Olawuyi was not an everyday broadcaster, his programme exposed atrocities in the Nigerian society. The programme delved into various eerie and captivating topics, from witches, wizards, and destiny snatchers to mysterious objects in strange locations.

It also uncovered the dark underworld of kidnappers, ritualists, robbers, and notorious landlords known to harm their tenants.

Different reports have surfaced concerning the real cause of the Ibadan-born journalist's death.

His wife said he was ill for about a week, however, some people often circulate rumours, claiming that his death was a result of the TB Joshua investigation he did where Olawuyi disclosed that the pastor engages in occultic practices.

She explained:

"He was in Radio Nigeria when he did the report on TB Joshua. And it was actually because of the TB Joshua report that he left Radio Nigeria.

"My husband was airing a programme on TB Joshua, but the cleric went to some bosses at Radio Nigeria, asking them to halt the broadcast. However, my husband said 'no'. So, he left Radio Nigeria because of TB Joshua's exposé. That was 1996, and he died in 2007. So, sincerely speaking, his death has nothing to do with TB Joshua nor with any story that he did in his journalism career"
