He also expressed remorse, stating that the incident did not reflect the brands he represents and asking for public forgiveness.

Kessben Media responded swiftly, releasing a statement that distanced the station from the incident and confirming that DJ KA had been asked to step away from his duties while an internal inquiry was carried out.

According to Sirr Joe's post, management explained that the temporary suspension was primarily intended to allow DJ KA time to compose himself, regroup, and ride out the intense public scrutiny that followed the leak. It remains unclear what the internal inquiry concluded, but the presenter's return signals that Kessben FM has drawn a line under the matter.

Sirr Joe offered warm words for the returning presenter, writing:

"Welcome back, champion! I wish you strength, focus and a successful return to the airwaves."
