Actor Jigan Babaoja has voiced concern over threats to his safety after his personal phone number was leaked online, following a controversy involving a WhatsApp group chat linked to the late singer Mohbad’s death.

On his Instagram, Jigan revealed that he has been inundated with threatening messages and accused some social media users of harassment and cyberbullying.

He called on the Nigeria Police Force to step in and address the situation, warning that he would not be intimidated and is ready to take legal action against those behind the threats.

“This is how they start! This is pure bullying all bcos you want to prove a point! You let my personal number out to your people to keep calling and sending threats to me! Exactly what was done to the late Mohbad! @nigeriapoliceforce I’m calling your attention to the number of threats that come to me! Instead of letting you kpai me like you kpai Mohbad, I will start by using all the things in my surroundings to kick against oppression and bullying! All these numbers will regret ever coming to this world! Just a few scapegoats and the rest will fondagbe!

“Amount of threats! Clearly shows they will attack me even on the streets! But for the street, I’m fully prepared and I’m aware! But @benjaminhundeyin @nigeriapoliceforce, and all well-meaning Nigerians! Something needs to be done!” (The Nation)
