The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa, on Friday, said that an investigation has been launched into the alleged threat issued against Igbo by the Lagos State Parks Management Committee Chairman, Musiliu Akinsanya popularly known as MC Oluomo.

Owohunwa made this known while featuring in an interview with TV Arise News on the preview of the governorship and state assembly elections slated for Saturday.

MC Oluomo, in a viral video, had threatened that Igbo people living in Lagos should not bother to come to the polls if they will not for the ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC).

In the video, MC Oluomo said, “Please tell them, we have begged them. If they don’t vote for us, it is not a fight. Tell them that Chukwudi’s mother, if you don’t vote for us, sit down at home. Do you understand? Sit down at home.”

Reacting to the threat today, Lagos said, “We condemn in the strongest possible any act, statement, or an action that could be interpreted as hate speech or that could be interpreted as deepening political tension regardless of the brain that might be behind it. With regards to this specific video you mentioned, it is currently a subject of a detailed investigation.”

Owohunwa also warned all those brewing violence in the state should desist or face the full wrath of the law, adding that the law enforcement agents will not spare any lawbreaker.

“Of course, we are deploying our cyber security access to solve that. And, I can assure you that nobody is above the law. This country is regulated. Anybody that tries to use his position, or his influence on others to deepen hate, or engender political tension which could, of course, snowball into violence, it remains the responsibility and the mandate of the Nigeria Police to investigate such cases.

“This specific one you mentioned will not be in isolation. It is already a subject of review. And it will be in the interest of the actors behind it and all others that might wish to also engage in such ill-informed, indirect action to be very careful, to be firmly warned because in the fullness of time, the full law will take its course and it will be not different in this instance if established,” Owohunwa added.

Nigerians are heading to the polls tomorrow for gubernatorial and House of Assembly elections, as the second leg of the 2023 elections.

Story

so what will be the end result, na who no sabi Nigeria dey get bp

He's only trying to emulate one oba in lagos who made a similar threat ,.. and went home unquestioned .

Story. Ever since MC OLUOMO disenfranchised people in Oshodi during 2019 Election and got away with it, I have lost hope in the Nigerian police.

This fraud of a man must have collected his share of Tinubu money and blabbing blah blah blah

what is the findings of his previous threat @ the presidential election day...?

This illiterate agberoe wey no sabi speak English to save him life, na him sophisticated Tinubu yoromuslims dey hail as their chief enforcer. Tufia!

The coward don quickly deny...
Later you see dem chest beating how they will chase Igbo's from Lagos but we know they can't pursue a single fly from Lagos ....
They are weak cowards and Lagos will continue to be a no mans land...

Wetin una wan investigate again inside korokoro video evidence of intimidation of voters.
Arrest the urchin immediately.

Nothing will happen. MC is above the law!

Yimu raised to power 10.😆😆😆

Humans were created equal but some made themselves more equal than the others.

All talk but no action, if someone from another tribe had made this threat he would have been picked up by the dss. We cannot continue to operate this way, Nigeria has become a laughing stock to the international community and other smaller African Countries

You better do your job not just rhetorics.

Mama Chukwudi is MC Oluomo friend

Nah so MC Oluomo and Mama Chukwudi dey always play

Nonsense... This boy suppose dey jail by now but this is Nigeria

The case go close last last... Baba dey for Up

Nigerian Police its wao oo.

The Lagos should take a cue from his Ogun state counterpart on how to deal with traditional rulers or individuals declaring archaic and obnoxious traditional practices during election seasons.

As for MC oluomo nothing can be done to him, I'm very sure the red envelopes he hands over to the security high command in the state on monthly basis is far higher than their gross annual income.

Una papa!

You're investigating a viral video. Anyway the IPO has hammered. Money will change hands and parties will go home happy.


As alibi the coward brought one hungry woman to pose as Iya Shukudi. He became a chest beater 😂😂😂 instead of accepting his f.ck up with his full agbado chest. What about where he said Igbos will be tapping the bum of Yoruba girls if Shinedu is elected? Was that him also rehearsing a script of Tales by Moonlight?

Mc oluomo of Oshodi that will soon be entering presidential Villa like ShopRite

story,,una de investigate who de above the law..what happened to the threats videos we saw during the presidential election,, rubbish

The stronghold of thuggery in Lagos would be dismantled soon

I don't believe there is a threat. Such announcement was made to make people vote for labour party.

Asiwaju has taught his people never to force people to vote, rather, to convince them with good deeds.

US embassy is watching the brainless Agbado fool comment

Ok

Something he said live this ones are saying they will investigate.. kukuma tell us you can't stop him cus he's already backed up..

GBm

we have a long way to go in this country. Tribe, and religion is setting us up against ourselves outside the shores of this country race and country is what's facing us. Should we say god did bad by creating every human unique? Absolutely not but the politicians make us see differently just to win elections. Thunder fire mc oluomo

Which other investigation when there is video proof

Audio investigation
