The Senator representing Bayelsa
East Constituency at the Senate and Chairman, Silverbird Group, Senator Ben
Murray-Bruce has raised the alarm over possible threats to his life by suspected
Fulani herdsmen.
In a tweet on his twitter
handle, @benmurraybruce, the outspoken Senator disclosed that he has been
receiving series of text messages warning him of a planned attacked on him by Fulani
herdsmen.
He said he was
particularly worried over this especially going by the current happenings in
the country and for the fact that he doesn’t move around with security.
“[I] received these texts
from an unknown number. With what has been happening in Nigeria in the last few
years, and with the fact that I don’t move about with security, let me use this
medium to alert Nigerians and the international community of a possible threat
to my life,” he tweeted earlier Wednesday.
Sen. Bruce has been known
for his opposition to the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari over
what he calls mis-governance. Apart from his twitter handle which has become
very busy with messages of opposition to the current APC government, the “Common
Sense Senator” as he’s now fondly called has made a number of videos in which
he proffered ways to right governance.
It is not yet clear as at
the time of filing this report if he has report the treat to the security
agencies for action.
