Weeks after a yet-to-b-identified man threatened to kill anyone who voted for Atiku Abubakar (PDP) and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu (APC) in the 2023 presidential election in the southeast, security operatives have launched a manhunt for him.
In a viral video on social media, the young man, seen displaying what looked like a locally made crude gun, had warned supporters of the APC and PDP presidential candidates against coming out to vote if they “love their lives”.

He corked the gun to prove it was not a toy, just as he warned those who wouldn’t vote for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party and former governor of Anambra state, to stay away from polling units.
“You dey observe am? “I go reach polling unit see men dey vote for Atiku or Tinubu. How far? Una go understand.

“Shebi you dey see am (I think you are seeing it). We dey vex!”, he threatened.
He will soon be arrested, says security source
However, PR Nigeria, quoting an unnamed security source, said the young man will soon be arrested over the violent threats.
“The young man, suspected to be an IPOB militant issued his ‘murder’ threat in a viral 30-second video which has been circulated on various social media platforms.
“It is quite disturbing and worrisome 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 security source said.
