Sir,
THREAT TO LIFE
On the 12TH day of April, 2018, I was attending a party programme at Ode Ekiti in Ayekire Local Government area of Ekiti State on the invitation of Mr. Makinde Araoye being a Publicity Secretary of All Progressive Congress (A.P.C), Ekiti State Chapter.
At about 3:00pm or thereabout Chief Rotimi J. Olanbiwonnu also known as Mentilo, an erstwhile chairman of Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria, Ekiti State chapter was looking at me ferociously while pointing his finger at me provocatively.
In the course of doing so, he uttered the following words which filter into my ears “ma ran awon boys si e, won ma ge ori e danu, won ma pa e”. The word literally means that he will send some boys to behead you, they will kill you.
Consequent upon this I confronted him that what have I done to necessitate my sudden cruel and inglorious death.
He did not in any way deny the words uttered by him, rather he reinstated what he has said before with a rider that “mo ma pa e ni mo so yen, sebi won payan sere ninu oselu ni. Alaimore ni e and that Fayemi put you in this position and empower you. Pe iso kuso ni Jide Awe nso lori radio Adaba. Gbogbo yin ati Kemi ma lo ni, tabi ke fi emi yin di. Eyin alaimore” which words literarily means that I will kill you like others who have been killed in politics for nothing. That you are an ingrate for not following a particular aspirant who allocated the position of Publicity Secretary of the party to you and others. Jide Awe is talking rubbish on Adaba radio. Kemi and all of you will pay the supreme price, if you failed to follow Fayemi.
These provocative words and threats were uttered in the presence of some members of APC Ekiti State Executives such as Mr. Paul Omotoso (Secretary), Mrs. Mary Faje, Mrs. Abiodun and others.
Having regards to the antecedent of chief Rotimi Joseph Olanbiwonnu and his likes in political thuggery and uncivilized conduct, I reasonably believe that he has the will and strength to carry out his devilish threat if not call to order timeously.
In view of the above, I am appealing to you to use your good offices to prevent unnecessary, unreasonable and unjust loss of life, particularly my life.
Thanks for expediting action on my complaint without further delay.
Yours faithfully,
Rt. Hon. Taiwo Franklin Olatunbosun.

State Publicity Secretary (APC)
Ekiti State.
