Bashir El-Rufai, son of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, stirred anger online after threatening to kill a social media user and his family.
The threat came in response to a comment made to his mother, Hadiza El-Rufai.
Hadiza had made some remarks on the U.S. travel ban that affected Nigeria and three other African countries.
The former first lady tweeted that many Nigerians doing well abroad are of Igbo origin.
While some agreed with her, others lashed out, prompting her to respond that online abuse would not silence her.
She wrote: “No cyberbully can take away my right to express my opinion. Not everything is about politics; but that is something some of you will never understand.”
One of the replies, from a user known as @jussstice09, included a harsh message aimed at Hadiza.
The user wrote: “You no go die well ma.”
Bashir fired back in a now-deleted post, warning that if the user ever repeated such a statement, he would trace them and “unalive” them and their family.
He wrote: “If you ever utter that phrase to my mother again & delete that tweet, i am going to find you (its easier than you think) & unalive you & your family.”
