Nigerian celebrity businessman and billionaire, Ned Nwoko has cried out for help on an alleged assassination plot on his life and that of his youngest wife, Regina Daniels.
Ned made this allegation known at a press conference held in Abuja alongside his wife Regina on Thursday, Feb 11, 2021.
According to the former member of the House of Representatives, the plot was leaked by an inmate in Kuje Prison, Abuja who overheard other prisoners talking about the attempt on his life.
Prince Ned Nwoko added that these death threats may have been as a result of an ongoing struggle for kingship of his native community in Delta State and tussle over a piece of land on which he plans to build a private university.
He said he has petitioned the Inspector General of Police (IGP) about the plot to attack and kill him.
The petition read in part:
“Kindly recall the issue of the land which was duly allocated to me by my community (Idumuje-Ugboko, Aniocha North Local Govt. Area, Delta State) upon which I am building a private University of Sports – first of its kind in sub-Sahara Africa.
“I was reliably informed by my wife, Regina Daniels, who was also informed by one Mr Wale Jana that the suspects who were arrested and remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre in connection with the murder case in my village are plotting to cause me harm and possibly kill me.
“I then reported the matter to the police and Department of State Security (DSS) and they went and interviewed the inmates involved. The inmates mentioned the name of one businessman who deals in the oil and gas sector as the master minder,” Ned noted.
He called on the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and the Department of State Services to take action over the threat on his life and wife's, stating that the inmate who leaked the information about the plot died mysteriously after getting series of threats following his release from prison.
