The former minister visited Tinubu at the villa yesterday. Moments after her visit, a letter emerged on the social media, saying that she was threatened for visiting Tinubu.

“A visit I made for the good of our dear nation is what they are using to threaten my life and family. You don’t recognise someone as your president yet begging him to save you from the hands of killers in your region,” part of the letter read.
