As the All Progressives Congress, APC gubernatorial primary election gathers momentum, supporter of of one of the governorship hopeful in Enugu state, Uchenna Nnaji has raised alarm over constant threat to life by men of underworld.
Emmanuel Ugwuagbo, a web designer and ardent supporter of former minister made this known in a release on Tuesday, saying a bounty of N10m has been placed on his head.
The release which was made available to WITHIN NIGERIA reads thus; “My name is Ugwuagbo Emmanuel Chizoba Daniel (Zoba De Great) and my life is in danger.
“On Tuesday evening last 2 weeks (April 21, 2026), I received a phone call from an individual who informed me that a reward of ₦10 Million Naira has been promised to certain men of the underworld to get rid of me, following my recent political activities and my political alignment with the opposition in the state.
“About 3 weeks ago, I declared my support for Chief Uche Geoffrey Nnaji, the Former Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, after I met and was convinced that his POWER AGENDA was the step forward for Enugu State, and his reassurances that he would serve only one term in obedience to the Zoning Formula.
“I had since then taken it upon myself to push his candidature in a civil, lawful but effective way.
“It was going smoothly until that Tuesday evening when I received that call and the person told me that I had just entered Enugu.
“Ordinarily, no one was supposed to know that I was in Enugu on that Tuesday because I had a week-long engagement in Abuja, but things were delaying and some of my clients that I was supposed to deliver their websites and videos to were on my neck (I am a Web Designer and Video Editor). So I cut my movement short and returned to Enugu immediately.
“I was still at the junction where I was buying fruits when the call came in. I was yet to get to my house. I had to hurriedly turn off the locations on my devices, went off the radar and left the city immediately.”
Explaining further, Mr. Ugwuagbo stated that “over the past few months, I have received various threats in various forms, following my lawful political activities.
“While some of the threats were direct from known and unknown people, online and offline.
“Some of the threats came indirectly in the form of advice from known and unknown people online and offline.
“I took all these with a pinch of salt because anyone who operates in the political space must expect such utterances and threats from overzealous supporters of political opponents.
“Most often than not, the political actors themselves know nothing about these threats and utterances from their supporters. Hence, I don’t take them seriously.
“However, this has gone beyond threats. Tracking my movement and location, and the rumour of a ₦10 million Naira reward, puts me directly in harm’s way.
“While the matter has been reported to the appropriate quarters as required by the law, and the security operatives are doing the needful, I deemed it equally important to make the public aware of what is going on, now that I am still in one piece.
“For there is a saying in our place that the hen shouts when the kite carries her chicks, not so that people can get it back, but so the world would know what happened.
“So, I am bringing this here, not to heat up the polity or solicit pity or help from anyone, but so that if something happens to me, the world will know what happened.
“In my 28 years of existence, I have never been known to cause trouble or be involved in one. I have never been invited or arrested by the police or any agency at all, because I have always conducted my affairs peacefully and legally in line with the laws of the land.
“I am seldom seen in public places, let alone be involved in such matters that may lead to violence.
“So if such matters, out of nowhere, suddenly arise, by state or non-state actors, who may want to label one thing or the other on me to get rid of me, maybe say that I was involved in a street fight or that I went out drinking or that I was quarrelling with someone or that I was involved in one illegal thing or the other, that somehow led to my death, arrest or incarceration.
“I just want to let the whole world know what happened and where it is coming from.”
