A disturbing video making rounds online has triggered backlash after a staunch supporter of Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi issued a death threat against political commentator and ex-presidential aide Reno Omokri.
The man, whose identity remains unknown, was seen in the viral video vowing to “waste” Reno Omokri over his continuous criticism of Peter Obi.
The video, which has since gone viral on Instagram, sparked outrage and drew condemnation from several quarters, including popular media personality, Daddy Freeze.
Daddy Freeze reacted swiftly on his Instagram page, expressed concern over the growing toxicity in Nigeria’s political discourse.
He lamented how far political supporters are willing to go in defense of their preferred candidates, warned that such actions pose a grave threat to freedom of speech and civil engagement.
This latest development comes amid increasing tension among supporters of Nigeria’s top political figures ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Reno Omokri, known for his staunch support of President Bola Tinubu (APC), has been a consistent critic of Peter Obi, whom he describes as unfit for national leadership.
Omokri’s criticism has not sat well with Obi’s online base, who have often clashed with him on various social platforms. However, this is the first time a public death threat against him has surfaced.
