Jibrin has equally been having it rough in the hands of alleged blackmailers, whom according to him, are asking for N10m from him or else they exposed his alleged atrocities.
He disclosed his ordeal in a statement he released in Kaduna.
The statement reads in part: “Since the first call where the caller identified himself as a journalist and demanded a huge amount of money from me, I have constantly been bombarded with series of such calls, all threatening my life.
“These were later followed by a number of anonymous text messages and calls claiming they are from very reputable editors of media houses in the country and all asking me to send them some millions of naira to stop a purported damaging report on me from being published.
“Despite my health condition following my stroke attack, I am now being bombarded with threats on my life coupled with unanimous text messages and calls claiming they are from reputable editors of media houses.
“Such messages which are recorded are a further threat to my recovery. I am a former journalist, I served at the Nigerian Broadcasting Service, Lagos, under Dr. Christopher Kolade and was later transferred to Maiduguri. I am appealing to people to stop spoiling the name of our reputable editors.
“They should not dent the image of these editors who have earned their reputation through hard work. They should stop the threats.
“The evidence of such threats and calls have been fully recorded and submitted to security agencies and the editors being lied against have been informed.”
