A Nigerian journalist based in Abuja, Ibanga Isine, has cried out over alleged threats to his life following his reportage of the several conflicts that have been raging in parts of Kaduna State in the past few years.
Isine who has reportedly gone into hiding over the threats, according to a tweet he put out on Friday, said he fears for his life as many sources linked to him while writing the reports were said to have died in mysterious and controversial circumstances, a situation that compelled him to cry out over his safety.
Shortly before going into hiding, the Akwa Ibom State-born investigative journalist, had posted a distress tweet on his handle with the username @Ibykul, saying he was not a criminal and had not broken any law that would warrant unknown persons sending him death threats. He also called on Nigerians to retweet his tweet and keep sharing the post until his cries gets to the right authorities.
