Funwayo Mbilini Nyawo, also known by multiple aliases, was arrested in Florida for making violent threats through social media against police, children, and various public figures. Charged with interstate transmission of threatening communications, his threats included specific violent acts targeting families of law enforcement officials, as well as children at an elementary school. Notable posts called for violence, displaying intentions to inflict harm, and aligned with extremist rhetoric urging attacks on Boston. Authorities highlighted the seriousness of the threats and the danger they posed to the community and the well-being of children.
Officials said one of his posts from August 2024, read, "wilbraham and boston: time for your children to die. [...] The Wilbraham Police and Fire Department I'm going to kill their families next and make them watch before I kill them."
He also posted an image of an elementary school in September 2024 with the words "Torch it. Kill the kids," according to the statement.
These threats posted on X specifically involved acts of violence such as bombing, shooting, or otherwise killing the people his posts targeted, according to a statement.
Officials said these threats often expressed a call to arms for followers of terrorist organizations, such as his post from November 2024, which read, "ISIS: Attack Boston again."
