A Wilbraham man has been indicted by a federal grand jury for making numerous violent threats on social media to kill elected U.S. officials and their families, police officers and firefighters, and children at an elementary school in Massachusetts, the U.S. Attorney said. Funwayo Mbilini Nyawo, also known as 'Jonathan Funwayo Nyawo,' 'Michael Jacobs' 'Robert, Jacobs,' and 'Carl Fields,' 36, was indicted with 13 counts of interstate transmission of threatening communications and one count of stalking through facilities of interstate commerce, U.S. Attorney Leah Foley said in a statement on Tuesday.

Officials on Tuesday did not specify the U.S. officials that Nyawo allegedly targeted in his social media posts.
