Family nurse, Regina Askia, has expressed outrage over the death threats received by media personality, Denrele Edun on social media.

The 53-year-old shared screenshots of the threats on Instagram on Sunday and promised to forward them to the appropriate authorities.

“I have just read a threat to kill Denrele Edun on the command of another. I have seen no out cry against this. Is this what is going on in Nigeria now? Is it okay to order a hit on someone and every one looks the other way? I will forward the threats I screen shot to the appropriate authorities and follow up for redress…,” wrote the former Nollywood actress and beauty queen who now lives in New York, United States of America with her family.

Denrele himself brushed off the comments when he shared screenshots of them on the same platform on Saturday.

The 38-year-old wrote, “Welcome to the brouhaha and chachandra of my Saturday… I noticed some ‘We will kill Denrele’ tweets this morning. Kill Denrele? Now that’s a laugh! I retweeted them as well!…”
