Former Governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi has dismissed rumours of his arrest.
Reports of Obi’s arrest spread online following his spat with a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Felix Morka.
Debunking the reports on his X account, the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election advised his followers to ignore them, calling them false.
“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 rumours to distract us from the critical challenges we face as a nation,” he stated.
