Billionaire businessman and
former member of the House of Representatives, Prince Ned Nwoko, has raised the
alarm over alleged plan to take his life and that of his wife, Regina Daniels.
Nwoko, at a press conference in
Abuja on Thursday, accompanied by Regina, said he had alerted the Nigeria
Police Force and the Department of State Services.
Nwoko linked the threat to the
ongoing struggle for kingship of his native community in Delta State and tussle
over a piece of land on which he plans to build a private university.
According to him, the kingmakers
have settled the kingship matter while allocation of the land to him followed
due process.
The petition, a copy of which was
made available to journalists, was addressed to the Inspector General of
Police, dated November 12, 2020, received on November 17, 2020, and titled
‘Leaked Information on Dangerous Plans to Attack/Kill Me.’
The petition read in part,
“Kindly recall the issue of the land which was duly allocated to me by my
community (Idumuje-Ugboko, Aniocha North Local Govt. Area, Delta State) upon
which I am building a private University of Sports – first of its kind in
sub-Sahara Africa.
“I was reliably informed by my wife, Regina Daniels, who was also informed by one Mr Wale Jana that the suspects who were arrested and remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre in connection with the murder case in my village are plotting to cause me harm and possibly kill me.
“According to the report sent to
my wife by Wale Jana, it said an inmate in the same room with the suspects at
the correctional facility who pretended to be sleeping heard them plotting to
harm me by conspiring with others outside the prison yard.
“I hereby produce a copy of the
chat received which has given rise to my fear. l am confident that you will
treat this matter with the seriousness and urgency it requires. I also believe
you will provide adequate security around me and members of my family,
following this recent evil plot to cause me harm.”
The politician said he was forced
to cry out in the media when the whistle-blower died mysteriously shortly after
his release from prison, even after reporting the threat to security agencies.
