Nigerian comedian Kevin Arua, better known by his stage name Kevinblak, has stated that he has received numerous threats for criticising poor governance through his satirical political persona, Governor Amuneke.
Speaking on the Channels TV show Rubbin’ Mind, the comedian stated that he is not shocked by the purported threats, emphasising that he was aware of the potential repercussions before he began producing satirical political content.
He remembered that he had once gotten a note threatening to pursue him at his home.
“I have received numerous threats as a result of my posts condemning poor government. It’s a voyage, and since I was aware of the implications before I embarked, what will happen should happen. He said, “I once got a message from someone saying he knows my house and they would come after me.”
