September 10, (THEWILL) – Val Obienyem, Media Adviser to the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, has urged the public to ignore the false reports that Peter Obi was arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) in Anambra State.
A statement issued on Tuesday, by Obienyem said Obi was not even in Anambra at the time of the alleged arrest.
“As of Saturday, Mr Obi was in Rwanda attending to important engagements. He has since returned to Nigeria and is currently in Edo State, where he is actively involved in party and national matters. There was no DSS operation at his residence, and no arrest was made”, he said.
Obienyem also clarified that Obi’s wife was not arrested, calling the report a fabrication aimed at misleading the public and causing unnecessary panic among his supporters.
He urged members of the public to ignore the false report and watch out against misinformation.
