Confusion Over Reports On Obi’s Arrest As Supporter Deletes Tweets

Supporters of Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate have given sharp reactions to reports of his alleged arrest.

GWG.ng reports that the speculation of the arrest which trended late on Friday evening was, however, disclaimed by one of the more reputable supporters of Obi, David Hundeyin in a tweet.

The tweet was what attracted many other supporters to the rumour which ironically was fanned by some other supporters of Obi.

One of the supporters tweeting at Dr Folaseye (ENT/Head &Neck Surgeon) was identified as among those who tweeted about the arrest and came under attack from fellow supporters who attacked the tweeter user for spreading false information.

GWG.ng investigation showed that Dr Folaseye has since deleted all tweets in the account.

Debunking the news of the arrest, David Hundeyin said:

David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin

Peter Obi was not arrested or even invited by any security agency today. I have personally confirmed this from his protocol team, so kindly refrain from spreading rumours

GWG.ng gathered that at the time of the alleged arrest that Peter Obi was in Owerri as a guest of Emeka Ihedioha who was burying his mother on Friday.

If they’re using their grapevine propaganda service to test people’s reactions to this fake news of Peter Obi’s arrest, I hope they know that one person can cook food for the entire community, but if the community decides to cook for that one person, he’ll run.

They’re trying to either detract us from the court proceedings or push us to the streets. For where!

Our principal said to chillax and follow him and that’s what we’re doing.

They will not make the mistake of arresting Peter obi, they will not try it, he is the reason the youths did not take over the streets , im sure APC do not want to risk it

I knew it was just a false rumour. No security agency in Nigeria would want to play with fire. Them dey mad?

Instead of them to be concerned over the rising cost of food, they are busy peddling rumors. Hunger never begin to wire them.

GWG.ng had earlier reported a statement from Labour Party that debunked another rumour of the arrest of the party’s national chairman, Julius Abure.
