Journalist Cries Out Over Threat To Life by tufur24(m): 6:27am On Nov 06, 2015 |
Journalist Cries out over threat to life An Owerri based journalist, Mr. Kelechi Uzomah, has accused a member of the Imo State House of Assembly, Hon. Joy Mbawuike of threatening his life. In a statement made available to newsmen in Owerri Tuesday, Uzomah a staff of the National Question newspaper said he has cried out following the insecurity in the country and Imo State in particular. According to him, he is currently living in fear of being hurt by Hon. Mbawuike who represents Isiala Mbano State Constituency at the State legislature. He disclosed that the threat became real to him when the embattled lawmaker whose election has just been nullified called him on telephone fuming that she will deal with him for daring to write a report against her person, one which she considered offensive. He said thereafter he has received numerous calls from unknown persons who also threatened to kidnap and kill him. According to him one of the lawmaker's ally, a lecturer (name withheld), who teaches at the Imo State University invited him on October 17,2015 to a restaurant in the institution where he threathened to kidnap and chop off his hands if ever he writes any of such report again. Mr. Uzomah denied approaching Hon. Mbawuike for appointment as her media aide as reported by an Owerri based newspaper, describing as puerile the lawmaker citing her refusal to appoint him as the reason for the alleged offensive report.
