“My Life Is At Risk!” – OAP Raises Alarm

Mohammed Oluwatimileyin Taoheed reports,

A Nigerian broadcaster and on-air media personality, Theodore Chinonso Uba, also known as NonsoNkwa, has cried out that his life is as at now in danger after security operatives rallied around his residence in Owerri, Imo State on the wee hours of Tuesday morning.

Track News Nigeria understands that the media icon serves as the head of Igbo Department at Osiza 96.1 FM Owerri.

Our Correspondent says that the National Broadcasting Commision (NBC) shut down the radio station on the Imo State Government’s alleged order for reporting the facts of the July 17 murder of 14 wedding guests in Awomama in Oru East Local Government Area of the state by the Ebubeagu Security operatives.

However, the radio station issued a statement in Owerri where the station was claimed that it was “temporarily suspended” and not shut down.

As seen on his Facebook page, Uba says he is being targeted though he would later provide an update that the security operatives have left.

“Security forces have surrounded my house as I write…My life is in danger!” his post read.

In his words: “reliable information has it that there was a chopper waiting to whisk me to Abuja somewhere in Owerri.”

He vowed ‘not to bow to any intimidation from any corner’.
