Apparently, Busola is being threatened because of what she said in a previous interview, which she granted Punch.

The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB).

Mrs. Busola Olagunju, daughter of late Brig. Benjamin Adekunle, who fought with the Nigerian troops, against Biafra, claims her life is in danger.

Busola said some Biafra sympathisers accused her father of genocide, and threatened to kill her.

According to Punch Newspapers, She said “Some people attacked me over my comment in the interview. They said I must die for my comment on Biafra. I will not take the threat for granted, I will report to security agencies.”

In the interview, she said “There is a historical fact about who ended the Civil War, there is no rift or debate about that. The debate is about who contributed the most between my father and Obasanjo. That is however subjective. Some say my father had already conquered the whole of Biafra and that Biafra was already like a tablet of soap when Obasanjo took over from my father. But even if it was a size of postage stamp, the truth is that Obasanjo took over when the war was still on.”
