A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun, Falilat Oyetunji popularly known as Ero Arike, has publicly threatened members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying she owns a gun and could shoot anyone who comes for her.
In a viral video circulating on Facebook, Ero Arike accused certain PDP members of insulting her intelligence while accepting gifts from her. Visibly angry in the clip, she lashed out at what she described as hypocrisy and warned PDP members to stay away.
“You say I’m illiterate yet you collected two cows and a bag of yam flour from me,” she said in the video.
“It shall not be well with PDP members. Don’t you dare come near me. I am not scared of you. The position you hold today ,you didn’t work for it.
“I have a gun. In fact, every night there are often gunshots near my storey building. I use it to protect and secure myself. I carry it everywhere. If anyone think they can come for me, I live in a storey building ; I’ll spray that person with bullets from upstairs. In fact, I’ll spray the neighbourhood around. I don’t send anyone.”
Osun Defender reports that the APC chieftain has been outspoken in recent weeks about party affairs and the distribution of local government funds. She had earlier warned APC leaders against endorsing a candidate she described as questionable ahead of the 2026 governorship primary.
The latest video, however, marked a shift to a direct, personal threat against PDP members and has generated widespread online backlash. Social media users and political observers in Osun are calling on security agencies to investigate the apparent threat.
At the time of filing this report, the Osun State Police Command has not issued a public response to Ero Arike’s threats.
