Valentine Obienyem, Media Adviser to Mr. Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, in the 2023 general elections, Debunks rumour making the rounds that his principal was arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) at his home in Anambra State.
Obienyem in a statement on Tuesday, dismissed the report, describing it as false and baseless.

According to Obienyem, Obi was not even in Anambra State at the time of the alleged incident.

He added that Obi would continue to focus on his commitment to the nation, while his team remains steadfast in providing accurate updates on his activities.
