“The assassins intend to kill me first and make it appear as an armed robbery operation.

“The second phase of the plot is to kill my son, Olujonwo in another armed robbery attack in the night.”

While maintaining that her public outcry was not to seek public attention, she said the former President should be held responsible should anything happen to her and her son.

She further appealed to security agents to ensure the safety of their lives.

“I want the world to know that my life and that of my son, Olujonwo is under threat for supporting President Muhammadu Buhari in the last election.

“I am crying out now to let the whole world know who to blame if anything happen.

Since President Buhari won the election Chief Obasanjo have developed very strong hatred for me and my son and he does not speak to my Son again or pick his calls.

“I am also appealing to the police and other security agencies to please come to our aid. This is a serious threat and the police should please help us.” Chief Obasanjo has vowed that he will kill us both and nothing will happen. This matter is not a joking matter.This issue is not imaginary or attention seeking or a publicity stunt,” she said.
