These ugly situations gave the respected Lagos politician a serious concern because he believes that his life and that of his family are not save.
According to Hon Fafunmi, this situation led him to change his kids’ school to another school because he believed that the decision he had taken will resolve the problems, but to his surprise, on 15th March, 2021 on their way to the new school, his family was once again attacked with an attempted kidnap on his children. Thank God the kidnap was foiled by the sound of the Police siren heard close to the scene. This however, led to his calling of a press conference to ask this salient question “who is after my family lives” Is this a mere incidence, Or they are politically motivated to bring him down? These questions need answers.
This has been happening to him anytime a general election is approaching, It happened in 2015 when he was contesting for the Lagos State House of Assembly, his third term ;Some group of people went ahead and printed posters just to blackmail him and demanded N5m.
