Four Nigerian journalists received anonymous death threats via text message on 28 April. The journalists, Yusuf Ali, Olusola Fabiyi, Chuks Okocha and Gbenga Aruleba, all covered the dismissal of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Maurice Iwu. Iwu has denied any involvement with the threats. The text message referenced the three slain Nigerian journalists stating: “We will deal with you soon. Remember Dele Giwa, Bayo Ohu, and Edo Ugbagwu?”
