‘I’m marked for assassination over Anyim’s petition’

Vice Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) South-South, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh, has cried out that his life is being threatened over the petition that he wrote alleging that former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Anyim Pius was involved in the illegal acquisition of the Centenary City project, Abuja.
According to him, a contract has already been given out to snuff life out of him.
Ojoubgo stated that he has asked his lawyer, Mr. Kayode Ajulo, to write two separate petitions on the alleged plan to kill him and the involvement of a foreign company in the alleged scam.
He said, “I have instructed my lawyers to forward petitions to the Government of the United Arab Emirates over the scam (allegedly) being perpetrated by Eagle Hills.
“The petition should also be sent to the Nigerian Immigration Service over the activities of a notorious Mexican drug baron called Carlos Cabal that has been given the task to assassinate me; the European Union and the Government of Germany over the activities of Berger the Billfinger in Nigeria and African Human Rights Commission in The Gambia.”

Ojougboh, while appealing to the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase, to “comprehensively investigate the murder allegations”, also called on the national leadership of his party, the PDP, to “ignore the ranting of this mass of protoplasm but to join hands together in building a strong, united and virile party for the upcoming elections.”
Ojougboh’s lawyer, Ajulo, confirmed that he had been directed to write the petitions, adding that he had already written the letter.
He said, “Yes, he directed us to write the petitions and we, as his lawyers, have already written them. I can assure you that we would pursue the matter to its logical conclusion.”
