“For the first time in my life, I know they are going to take my life. I have given everything I have to the police. I just want to beg that nothing must happen to the sources I have mentioned”.

Outspoken Nigerian actor and activist Yomi Fabiyi has made a chilling revelation. He claims that his life is in grave danger as a direct result of his unwavering commitment to the Justice For Mohbad movement.

He revealed in an Instagram video on Tuesday that he had to flee Nigeria for his safety after he was almost assassinated twice within three days.

Fabiyi also claimed that despite his narrow escape, he was targeted for elimination on Monday night and that he would have been buried if they had been successful.

PREMIUM TIMES reported that the actor planned to stage a ‘peaceful protest‘ at the national assembly gate in Ikeja, Lagos, on Monday, coinciding with the resumption of the coroner inquest investigating Mohbad’s death. He, however, shelved the protest.

In a now controversial video on his Instagram page, Fabiyi, who says he is currently hiding, disclosed what he described as an alleged plot to waste his life over Mohbad’s case.

“I escaped assassination two days ago, and they still planned to kill me tonight (Tuesday). If they had succeeded, I would have been buried tomorrow. I had to jump on the next available flight because I had been marked for assassination. For the first time in my life, I know they are going to take my life. I have given everything I have to the police. I just want to beg that nothing must happen to the sources I have mentioned.
