DSS didn’t arrest Peter Obi – Aide

The Department of State Services (DSS)  did not arrest Presidential Candidate of Labour Party in the last election, Valentine Obienyem, his media aide, has clarified.

There have been unconfirmed reports of Obi being arrested alongside Margaret, his wife.

But in a statement released on Tuesday, Obienyem categorically dismissed the reports as entirely false and baseless.

He said the rumour first surfaced on Saturday, but was promptly refuted.

Obienyem said Obi was not even in Anambra State at the time of the alleged incident.

“As of Saturday, Mr. Obi was in Rwanda attending to important engagements,” he said.

“He 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,” Mr. Obienyem emphasised.

He urged the public to disregard the falsehood and remain vigilant against the spread of misinformation, assuring that any official communication regarding Mr. Obi will be released through proper channels.

“As the situation develops, Mr. Obi continues to focus on his commitment to the nation, while his team remains steadfast in providing accurate updates on his activities,” the statement read.
