He was named as the mastermind of the alleged murder attempt by one of his aides who was arrested following an attack on Tokosi’s residence in Lagos.

Ifeanyi Okereke was arrested alongside Olawale Dairo, John Sunday and Monday Olotu after they reportedly attempted to break into Tokosi’s apartment during a midnight attack on November 29, 2020.
