He added that his job as a reporter exposes him to such threats, some of which he simply laughs off.
According to Obiejesi Chukwunaeme Kingsley,
“As a journalist working with BBC Igbo Service, I am not new to death threats.Myself and my colleagues get death threats on a daily basis. Sometimes it hurts, but most times I laugh it off.The interesting thing is that the people that threaten to kill me and my colleagues, are the same people that refer to themselves as “Ụmụ Chineke” or “ụmụ Chukwu okike Abiama”. Is it not funny?I am not allowed to join issues with these death mongers, but whenever I see the threats, I reply in my heart: “My name is Chukwunaeme. Ejirọ ọnwụ eyi m egwu.”
