Droves of angry supporters of Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the last general election, popularly known as Obidients, have threatened to unleash terror on the daughter of Haruna Tsammani, the lead justice of the Presidential Election Petition Court, should the results of the tribunal not favour their candidate.

This is as the Tribunal inches close to giving its verdict on the disputed February 25 election which produced President Bola Tinubu of the rulling All Progressive Congress APC in Nigeria.

Notorious for online trolling and violent comments against anyone who doesn’t support their candidate or share their views, Obidients, have threatened to besiege the Abuja-based clothing line allegedly owned by one of Justice Tsammani’s daughters in response to concerns that the election petition judgement might not be in their favour.

In May, the court started hearing the petitions against the result declared by the Independent the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) after the February 25 presidential election. The LP and other opposition parties are among the petitioners.

Obidients besieged social media platform, Tweeter, on Monday to issue various threats.

A tweeter user Twitter user on Monday, @obibrightike, wrote: “Sister Zainab, try follow your papa talk because Brother Beberad dey prepare to come over for shopping sooner than you can say Jack!”

“Please o, is it male or female abi unisex, cause I really want to shop. Also, does [anyone] have a space where I can keep the 2 by 2 stick that I am holding while I shop?” @sammyprimus1 wrote.

@ccassking’s tweet reads: “I have a lot of my rich classmates in Abuja; a lot of them are not males, spoke to the head of the gang and she would love to come with 4 of her friends. Kosi promised me to come with her cousin, she’s based in Oman. That shop will be empty immediately after that judgement.”

Another one, @CharlesHills147, noted that “any wrong judgement, that shop will be burn[t] down”.

“Justice Tsammani’s daughter owns a clothing line in Wuye, Abuja. Those are really nice pieces, and I thought to go shopping this morning but talked myself out of it. I said, “Oluchi, it’s too early to go shopping and Obidients might want to join you too, so why not wait until after the Tribunal?” Let’s call her “Zainab” (not real name). Zainab, if you are reading, please tell daddy to give us a judgment date quickly so we can begin shopping! We don’t have eternity to waste on this case…and I know you’ve been to this account and can read this. Kudos to all Obidients sniffing around the internet and putting these good tips together.”
