No way; your enemies will die like mosquitoes before you, including those who are commenting negatively. Shege ya buro uba, Zamu ci uwaku. If Buhari dies, I promise to kill 200 people."

He said the police has commenced an investigation to first determine if Biu is indeed a policeman.
"We have seen the post and we are investigating it. Anybody can post anything on the social media. We first need to ascertain if that man is a policeman and the necessary procedure will be taken. A policeman should not make public comment on social issues. We are investigating and will make the findings public very soon."
In the past few days, multiple reports have indicated that Buhari's health condition may have worsened.
This has been fueled by the President's absence at major official activities, including the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meetings.
