The title of this episode is <strong>Imú Níkà</strong>.</p> <p>The characters featured in this episode are: Ṣaki Ọmọleewe, voiced by Elizabeth Bamgbose; Baba Mufu Onidanfo, voiced by Adeola Omotade; Iya Ṣaki Onigaari, voiced by Sekinat Adegoke; Saamu Eleti-Erin, voiced by Olatunde Falola; Taye Alaga, voiced by Ajibola Akinyefa; and Lemọọmu, voiced by Amoo Abass.</p> <p><strong>Story Idea: </strong>This is the last chance for the people of Ẹni-Afẹ to take the first batch of vaccine that was sent to them. Or else, it will be distributed to other communities who had exhausted theirs. This is also the last chance Saamu is waiting for before he would free his accomplice, Akọwe, from the psychiatric hospital. He lied to the members of his community that the vaccine killed a student and all other students, including their teachers ran out of their class to avoid being vaccinated. The news terrified members of his community and further dissuade them from taking the vaccine, it was later revealed that Saamu himself had received the vaccine.</p>

<p>The radio drama series, Àrùn ń rìnhòòhò is aimed at disbanding the rumors and misinformation related with COVID-19 & its vaccines. The title of this episode is <strong>Ẹní Jẹ Tẹ̀tẹ̀</strong>.</p> <p>The characters featured in this episode are: Dokita, voiced by Titilayo Akande; Anti Nọọsi, voiced by Elizabeth Bamgbose; Saamu Eleti-Erin, voiced by Olatunde Falola; and Akowe, voiced by Adebayo Aare.</p> <p><strong>Story Idea:</strong> Saamu Eleti-Erin continued Akọwe’s mission of misinforming his community about the COVID-19 vaccine. He took up Tafa Alajọ's job so he will have the means to distribute fake news without anyone suspecting him. He advised Anti Nọọsi not to take the vaccine as it would block her womb and make her barren for life. At the end of the play, Dokita debunk the rumor and Anti Nọọsi went for the vaccine.</p>
