Peter Obi Detain in the United Kingdom Allege Impersonation
Peter Obi, the party’s presidential candidate, was detained and questioned by customs officers for hours at Heathrow Airport in London regarding offenses that were allegedly committed by an impostor, according to the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council (LPPCC).
NewsReport gathered that a statement signed by the Head of Media of the Obi-Datti, Diran Onifade, said the impostor of Obi, who is still at large, may commit various crimes that would lead to the arrest of Peter Obi in the United Kingdom.
Onifade said Obi was arrested at Heathrow Airport for duplication.
The statement reads in part: “The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, just back from London, United Kingdom, where he celebrated Easter, has confirmed that he was harassed by London immigration officials and placed in detention, but for the spontaneous reaction of Nigerians at Heathrow Airport.
The Obi-Datti Media office can confirm that the LP Presidential candidate in the February 25 presidential poll arrived at the Heathrow Airport in London from Nigeria on Good Friday, April 7, 2023, and joined the queue for the necessary airport protocols when he was accosted by an immigration official, who handed him a detention note and told him to step aside. He was questioned for a long time, which was very strange for a man who lived for over a decade in that country.
“Since Obi’s face was already an international frame, especially for Nigerians and Africans at home and in the Diaspora who are likely to be Obidients, the people quickly raised their voices, wondering why he was being delayed.
“The immigration officials, who were also taken back by the reaction of the people, were forced to reveal that Obi was being questioned for a duplication offense, meaning that someone has been impersonating him in London.
“The high implication of the offense is that the impersonator could be committing all kinds of weighty crimes and other dubious acts, and they would be recorded in Obi’s name.
“Since the impersonator is still at large, the scenario is unimaginable as Obi could be implicated in a series of forbidden acts and even be framed in a manner that could be a huge embarrassment to him, his family, his party, the Obidian Movement, and indeed Nigeria, where he currently and indisputably remains the conscience of the people.
The Obi-Datti Media office recalls that our principal has been under all kinds of attack since the February 25th, 2023, presidential election, in which, as the standard bearer of the Labour Party, he put up an outstanding showing, coming third out of 18 contestants as announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, even though his supporters and many other election watchers, including international observers, believe very strongly that he won the election but was manipulated out.
“Since he was told to go to court if he feels strongly about the election, which all international monitors chorused were flawed and full of imperfections and he accepted, there have been severe attacks on him from all corners.
Even the Federal Government, which directed him to go to court, even dispatched the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammad, to the United States to attempt to de-market him and accused him of treason.
“Obi’s telephone line was also bugged when they were possibly looking for information to portray him badly before a section of the country that had voted for him massively.
“As if they were not getting the desired results by denting his image and possibly placing the translators under a heavier conscience load, they tried to persuade him to leave the country and go take a rest.
“It’s also not impossible that those urging him to leave the country may have planted the impersonators ostensibly to tar the eagle’s immaculate appearance.
“The Obi-Datti Media office would like to therefore assure all persons of good will, especially the Obidients, that the rock is not deterred, as he is ready to suffer the pain and remain even more determined to pursue whichever path his creator destined for him in Nigeria.
“Meanwhile, the former Anambra state governor is back in the country and has continued his charity work, visiting health and educational institutions, making donations, and bagging awards.”
