The acting Chairman of the Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Jarrett Tenebe, has threatened to kill a woman, Blessing Agho, for criticising governor of Edo State, Monday Okpebholo.
Agho, a businesswoman and political leader from Edo State, came under Tenebe’s onslaught over critical comments made against Okpebholo.
In response, Tenebe said to her via Facebook messenger: “Your death is close. You are a bastard, just show where you are if you can.”
He adds “Death awaits you, idiot. Send me your address or come out to Wuse 2 in front of Atiku’s campaign office at 9pm tomorrow.”
The chilling comments of the ruling party Chairman to Agho were shared via messenger, screengrab of which is published here.
Sharing the screenshots of the threat, the lady posted, “The APC state chairman, Jarrett Tenebe, threatened me via messenger. How did this retarded, mentally unstable person end up becoming a state chairman? No wonder there are calls to remove him from office. Okpebholo, see your state party chairman. When will you demolish his house?”
The viral post has generated a lot of criticism from social media users who wonder why Tenebe would threaten to kill people just because they criticize the governor.
Many have called on the police to invite the chairman for questioning.
