My Life Is In Danger – Professor Uju Anya Cries Out Following Her Tweet About Queen Elizabeth
Nigerian-born American professor Uju Anya, who wished Queen Elizabeth II ‘excruciating death’ while on her deathbed, said she no longer feels safe.

Subsequently, Twitter took down the tweet for violating its rules.

But according to the professor, since Thursday, people have been creating fake accounts on Facebook to impersonate her and spread lies against her. She said some people have also linked her to the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), adding that they were using her for a political movement she does not align with. Anya says linking her to IPOB could prompt the Nigerian government to consider her a terrorist. Anya’s Words: “I feel like my life is in danger. I don’t feel safe anymore because of these lies being peddled around against me. I left Facebook four years ago. I don’t have a Facebook account. People are putting out fake statements, saying I am a member and financier of IPOB or Independent Biafra or any political candidate like that, and they are using a fake Facebook account that bears my name. It is a lie. There is nothing like that. “Some online blogs have been peddling fake rumours about me.

I have not issued any statement since Thursday. The PUNCH is the first and (will be) the only Nigerian medium I have spoken to. “It is urgent that the world knows that these people are trying to put me in harm’s way. Nothing that anybody sees with my name on Facebook is true. I am not a member of IPOB. “They are using me for political movements and messages that I do not align with, and they are seriously damaging me and my safety. “This is going to be a huge problem for me. What if the Nigerian government considers me a terrorist and wants to arrest me? They are putting my life in danger.”
