Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has debunked the rumour making the rounds that he was arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS).

Obi, a former Governor of Anambra State in South-East Nigeria, described the rumour as falsehood against his person, stressing that he is currently in his residence in Onitsha, Anambra state.

A Facebook user, Machie Johnbosce, had posted on All Nigeria Political Parties Facebook page that Obi was arrested by the DSS operatives who broke into his residence and forcefully took him away to an unknown location.

The post also published on news website read, “Happening Now: Peter Obi has been arrested by the DSS at his home in Abuja early this morning and whisked away to an unknown detention facility, reportedly under orders from Tinubu’s government.

“According to eyewitnesses, DSS agents stormed his residence unannounced, forcefully breaking through a window after his security team refused to open the front door.

“The dramatic scene unfolded as neighbors described hearing loud commotion and the shattering of glass, followed by armed operatives escorting Obi into a waiting vehicle.

“As of now, the whereabouts of Peter Obi remain undisclosed, heightening the drama and concern over this unexpected turn of events in Nigerian politics.”

However, Obi in a post titled, “The recurring fake News on me” on his X account on Wednesday dismissed the rumour.

He said, “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.

“I Thank the public for the concern, support, and dedication to the cause of a better Nigeria that is possible!!!”
