A political commentator Reno Omokri has accused Rufai Oseni of threatening his life over a contentious claim regarding President Tinubu’s educational background.
Omokri alleged that Oseni, in a recent phone conversation, warned him about the dire consequences of persisting in his assertion that Tinubu attended Chicago State University.
“After I Exposed Him As a Liar, Rufai Oseni Called My Brother and Threatened My Life, Because I Insisted Tinubu Attended Chicago State University,” Omokri wrote.
In the leaked audio, a voice attributed to Oseni can be heard stating, “Because if I want to be deadly, I will take your brother out in less than 3 minutes.”

The audio leak has since gone viral, intensifying the already heated debate surrounding President Tinubu’s educational background.
Oseni has been a vocal critic of the ruling party and has consistently questioned the credibility of political figures.
However, the alleged death threat has taken the disagreement to a whole new level, causing widespread concern and raising questions about the role of intimidation in Nigerian politics.
The controversy surrounding President Tinubu’s education has been a subject of discussion for some time. While some sources claim that Tinubu obtained a degree from Chicago State University, others argue that there is insufficient evidence to support this assertion. Omokri’s insistence on seeking the truth has further fueled speculation and debate among Nigerians.
Rufai Oseni, on the other hand, has yet to respond publicly to the allegations made against him.
