The Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has debunked rumours of his arrest, describing them as recurring fake news.
In a post on his X handle, Obi said the claims are entirely false and stated that he is currently at his home in Onitsha, Anambra State.
He recalled how similar “lies” had been circulated last September that the Department for Security Services invaded his home while he was in Rwanda.
The Labour Party chieftain said that the motive of those peddling the rumours cannot be positive but urged Nigerians not to allow it to distract them from the critical challenges facing the nation.
Some social media posts had claimed that the former Anambra State governor was arrested in Abuja.
