Omokri said that Rufai threatened his life because he insisted that President Bola Tinubu attended Chicago State University.
The President’s Chicago university credential has been generating controversies over the years. The controversies became heightened as he became President after the 2023 general elections.
Omokri, in his alarmist statement, declared:

“After I Exposed Him As a Liar, Rufai Oseni Called My Brother and Threatened My Life, Because I Insisted Tinubu Attended Chicago State University.”
He posted a purported telephone conversation with the picture of Rufai Oseni, relaying Rufai’s statement as: “…Because if I want to be deadly, I will take your brother out in less than three minutes.”
Omokri has, since the victory of President Tinubu in the 2023 general elections, been most inconsistent in his commentaries about Nigeria, dangling from what he was known for to leaning towards the government in power, in this case, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He sensationally converted himself to apostle of patriotism and ‘Nigeriana’ nationalism. His fall out with Rufai on the controversial issue is not unexpected to many.
Omokri had also stated:
“Mr Rufai Oseni caused to be broadcast a video on Sunday, November 27, 2022, in which he alleged that I lied when I said I visited Chicago State University on Monday, September 19, 2022, to investigate in person whether or not Mr Tinubu did in fact attend and graduate from Chicago State University.
“Can either Mr Rufai Oseni or AriseTV substantiate those allegations against me, especially as I furnished both video and other documentary evidence (a letter from Chicago State University) of my visit, including phone numbers and email addresses for the registry of that Institution?” #TableShaker
Meanwhile, many are asking the question: “who lied on the Chicago Certificate controversy – Reno Omokri or Rufai Oseni?
