Group Raises Alarm Over Threat To The Life Of Airforce Officer MWO Oyebanji


A group known as MYVIE Foundation International has raised alarm over a threat to the life of Airforce

officer, Mr Michael Oyebanji by unknown men who have been calling him on the telephone with hidden

number at various times between August and September 2022.


MYVIE Foundation International in a press statement signed by its Sub-Saharan Publicity Officer, Bassey

Chukwu Godwin said that since the release of Mr Michael Oyebanji from the Correctional Centre in

Makurdi on February 18, 2022 and his attempts to legally seek justice for his illegal incarceration and

conviction, he has been receiving calls from unknown callers who from the Month of August to

September, 2022 have been threatening him and his entire family.


“As one of the various groups seeking justice for Mr Michael Oyebanji, we are calling on President

Muhammadu Buhari, the National Assembly and International community to help come to the aid of Mr

Michael Oyebanji who after securing his freedom from Makurdi Correctional Centre is still facing threats

from unknown callers who have been threatening him not to seek justice for his illegal incarceration and

conviction by the General Court Martial of the Nigerian Airforce (NAF).”


Speaking further, the Group added that Mr Michael Oyebanji had dragged the Nigerian Airforce and the

151 Base Services Group Multipurpose Cooperative Society, Makurdi, the Cooperative society he was

accused of misappropriating its fund to court shortly after his release from Correctional Centre,

Makurdi.


To our greatest dismay when Mr Michael Oyebanji instituted a legal action against the Nigerian Airforce

and 151 Base Services Group Multipurpose Cooperative Society, (MH2/220/2022) Makurdi upon his

release from Correctional Centre, Makurdi; the Nigerian Airforce came to court to deny having anything

to do with 151 Base Services Group Multipurpose Cooperative Society, on which premise Mr Michael

Oyebanji was incarcerated and sentenced. Mr Oyebanji was kept in the guardroom from May 31, 2019

till March 30, 2021, with reference (151/BSG/305) and (151/BSG/322 HQ), spending 678 days in the

guardroom of Air Police Provost Squadron NAF Base Makurdi, under unpalatable condition.”


The Group further alleged that Nigerian Airforce’s grand conspiracy against Mr Michael Oyebanji was

even extended to the Correctional Centre in Makurdi, where they used the State Comptroller of Makurdi

Correctional Centre, Mrs Julie Anyanwu to deny and refused to honour a court order that he should be

released on two consecutive times.


Sensing the implications of their refusal to release Mr Michael Oyebanji, the authorities of the

Correctional Centre in Makurdi approached his family to write a letter of undertaking without his

consent that he would not drag them to court after his release.”


“MYVIE Foundation International is hereby using this medium to appeal to President Muhammadu

Buhari, the National Assembly and the international community to ensure the safety of Mr Michael

Oyebanji and that of his family members who are now in hiding and living in fears. We are also

appealing to well meaning Nigerians to come to the aid of Mr Oyebanji before it becomes too late.”
