DSS Did Not Arrest Peter Obi, Wife – Aide

The Media Adviser to the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, in the 2023 general elections, Val Obienyem has refuted the reported arrest of the former Anambra State governor by the Department of State Services (DSS) at his home in Anambra State.

Obienyem dismissed the report describing it as false and baseless in a statement on Tuesday.
He said, “As of Saturday, Mr. Obi was in Rwanda attending to important engagements” and “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.

He also clarified the rumour that Obi’s wife was arrested, describing it as a fabrication aimed at misleading the public and causing unnecessary panic among his supporters.

He urged the public to disregard the falsehood and remain vigilant against the spread of misinformation.

He also assured supporters and well-wishers that any official communication regarding the national leader of the Labour Party will be released through proper channels.

While adding Obi would continue to focus on his commitment to the nation, he assured that his team would remain steadfast in providing accurate updates on his activities.
