The wife of the Edo Sate Deputy Governor, Mrs. Maryann Philip-shaibu, has petitioned the Commissioner of Police in the state over alleged threat to her life by former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), Mr. Adams Oshiomhole.
The petition signed by lawyer to Mrs. Phillip-Shaibu, Idemudia Ilueminosen, titled, ‘Threat to Life,’ said that Oshiomhole allegedly threatened to deal the deputy governor’s wife on Sunday, September 6, 2020, at Jattu in the Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State, during the APC campaign tour to the community.
The petition stated that Oshiomhole, not only threatened to deal with Mrs. Philip-Shaibu, but also said that he had sent some thugs to monitor her movements in Etsako West.
“This is moreso that the lives of our client and her family (by this threat) are at stake and the situation may degenerate into a full blown crisis if nothing urgent is done,” the petition read.

Meanwhile, Oshiomhole’s media aide, Mr. Victor Oshioke, said his boss was focused on marketing the governorship candidate of the APC to the people and “cannot, under any circumstances, be distracted by the buzzing of baby mosquitoes Mrs. Shaibu.
“This petition is nothing but a futile attempt to divert the attention of Nigerians from the trending video of Maryann Shaibu threatening to flog women old enough to be her mother if they dare exercise their fundamental human rights to attend any event other than the one she organises,” he said.
