Senator Iyabo Obasanjo has written a petition to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr. Mike Okiro alleging threat to her life by Governor Gbenga Daniel of Ogun State.
In the petition written by her lawyer, Chief Afe Babalola (SAN) he said "series of information at our client's disposal have revealed that some close aides of Governor Gbenga Daniel are holding regular meetings and consultation on how to eliminate our client."
