“This notice is to all Nigerians, the international community, my family, friends, colleagues and fellow patriots that my life is under serious threat.

“While I seek your prayers always, the government and the security agencies should be held accountable should anything happen to me,” he said.
Adegboruwa claimed that there had been recent traces and warnings of attempts over his life.
He claimed that these attempts were related to his advocacies and actions, especially regarding his campaign for good governance, the rule of law and accountability.
The Senior Advocate said his advocacy engagements were products of his convictions and desire for a better society.
“I do not belong to any political party, and I have no political affiliation in any manner whatsoever.
My training, professionally and spiritually, is to serve the people, mentor people, secure justice, and transform lives for good.”
He decried the threats against his life, stating that his advocacies were not, in any way, targeted at specific politicians or political parties.
“This should not constitute a threat to the ambition of any politician or indeed a threat to the life of any advocate.
While my views and actions may seem to antagonize or support certain political tendencies depending on the divide, I bear no allegiance to any political party.”
Establishing his neutrality, Adegboruwa noted that he would support any candidate Nigerians vote for at the 2023 general elections.
“Regarding the 2023 general elections, anyone that Nigerians consider worthy of their votes in free, fair and credible elections will also be my leader. I do not support or oppose anyone; my constituency is Nigeria. The human rights activist reiterated his commitment to the revolutionary struggles he has been known for.
