The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, has reacted to the news of his arrest.
The former two-term governor of Anambra State spoke on the report in a statement he issued on his X handle on Wednesday.
Obi said: “The recurring fake News on me.
“I have been made aware of a circulating fake News about my alleged arrest. Let me state unequivocally that these claims are entirely false.
“I am currently at my home in Onitsha. Anambra State.
“Such fake News on my person has become a pastime for some people.
“Recall last year September, when I was in Rwanda, similar lies had gone out that DSS invaded my house; now, while I was in my home in Onitsha, Anambra State, they said I was arrested in Abuja.
“The motive of these peddlers cannot be positive but let us not allow baseless rumors to distract us from the critical challenges we face as a nation.
