Security agencies have launched a manhunt for a suspected member of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) who threatened to shoot anyone around him who cast vote for Presidential candidates of Atiku Abubakar or Bola Tinubu of the Peoples Democratic Party and All Progressive Congress, APC respectively.
The suspect, who declared support for Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) made the threat in a video about the 2023 general elections early this month.
The young man threatened to shoot anyone around him who cast vote for Atiku or Tinubu.
According to PRNigeria, a security officer said that agents would soon arrest the individual behind the warning.
“The young man, suspected to be an IPOB militant, issued his ‘murder’ threat in a viral 30-second video which circulated on social media.
“It is quite disturbing when the armed criminal vowed that come 2023, he will shoot and kill persons at polling units, who attempt to vote either Atiku or Tinubu.”
The source added that the security and intelligence community were on his trail.
In the video, the youth corked his gun and asked: “You dey observe am?
“I go reach polling unit see men dey vote for Atiku or Tinubu. How far? Una go understand.
“If you know say you no go vote Peter Obi, no come out…no come out”, he said and corked again.
