My Life is in Danger - Billionaire Ned Nwoko Cries Out
Category: Nigeria News
Billionaire businessman
Ned Nwoko has
raised an alarm over plans to assassinate him.
The former house of Representatives member made this known during a press
briefing in Abuja on Thursday, February 11, 2021.
According to him, the assassination plot had a connection with a piece of land
in his community in Delta where he was building a university.
He also stated that a tussle about who becomes the next traditional ruler of
his community was also another significant factor.
Nwoko
disclosed that the assassination plot was exposed by one Mr. Ossy Bosah who
was serving a jail term at Kuje Prison in Abuja.
His wife, Daniels was among those present at the briefing.
The former federal lawmaker said that Bosah was privileged to get wind of the
plan from fellow inmates.
Following the exposition of the plot, Nwoko said that Bosah’s life was
threatened via text messages, regretting that shortly after he was released
from the prison, he died mysteriously.
According to him, an autopsy was being carried out to ascertain the cause of
Bosah’s death.
”Bosah was able to get the information on social media and the attention
of my wife, Regina, was drawn to it. I then reported the matter to the police
and Department of State Security (DSS) and they went and interviewed the
inmates involved,” he said.
The inmates mentioned the name of one businessman who deals in the oil and gas
sector as the master minder.
Speaking further, he said the family of the late inmate would have been at
this conference but due to fear for their lives, they refused to come.
He said though security around him and his family had been tightened, the
press conference was necessary to let the world know of the threat.
