The husband to the popular Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels made the revelation in a press conference which he organized in Abuja yesterday in the company of his wife. According to him, he has reported the matter to the police and the Department of State Security(DSS). So, it is expected that the security agencies will look into the matter with a view to identifying and arresting the plotters.
First, Ned revealed that the first reason for the plot is because of a piece of landed property in his community in Delta State. He is already setting up a university in the said land but it has become a subject of serious tussle. As things stand, the opposing parties may be plotting to come after him since it seems he is richer than them and may have his way.
Although, Ned did not mention names of the people he suspects are behind the plot. But, he knows the people that are having the tussle with him over the land. In fact, the issue has been on since. There was a time around last year that some people in the community had accused Ned of using money, connection and security agents to intimidate them after taking over the land despite it being a subject of contention. Well, let the law take its due course so that the real owner of the land will be established.
Second, Ned disclosed that the issue of who becomes the next King of his community is another reason for the plot to kill him. This is another sensitive tussle that can be bloody. Each candidate is interested in becoming the King no matter what.
Well, this second reason is another important factor that needs to be probed. As a very rich man, Ned will be interested in the traditional politics of his community. Though, he may not want to become the King, but, he may be interested in supporting and may be financing a candidate to occupy the exalted throne. Moreover, as a politician, if Ned helps someone to occupy the throne, it will pay off as the King will give him solid backing to realize his next political ambition.
Luckily for him, he caught winds of the plot earlier. According to him, it was when some prisoners of Kuje prison were discussing the issue that one of them revealed the plot.
Again, his wife, Regina Daniels also got to know about the issue on social media. Ned added that the prisoner who revealed it was later released but he died mysteriously after receiving series of threat messages. The Billionaire stated that the name of a top businessman that deals in oil and gas was mentioned by the inmate that revealed the plot. As it stands now, Ned is tightening security around himself and his family even as security agents hunt for the plotters.
