A former member of the House of Representatives, Prince Ned Nwoko has raised alarm over alleged plot to take his life and that of his wife, Regina Daniels.
Nwoko who raised the alarm at a press conference on Thursday in Abuja, explained that the matter has been reported to the Nigerian Police Force and it is under investigation.
He said that the plot is not unconnected to a piece of land in his native community in Delta on which he setting up a modern university and who becomes the next king of the community.
Nwoko said that disagreement over such issues is not a reason why anybody would want to take the life of another person.
The former lawmaker said that the issue of who becomes the next king had been settled by the kingmakers and that the allocation of the land followed due process.
Nwoko said that the plot was exposed on social media by one Mr Ossy Bosah, an inmate in the Abuja Kuje Prison who overheard two fellow prisoners discussing the plot.
“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.
“The inmates mentioned the name of one businessman who deals in the oil and gas sector as the master minder,” he said.
Nwoko said that Bosah who was later released from the prison, received series of threat messages and died mysteriously after three weeks and an autopsy ifs being carried out.
According to him, the family of Bosah would have been at this conference today but for fear of their lives, they are not here.
Nwoko said that though security around him and his family has been tightened, he called the press conference to let the world know of the threat.
