“We Are Sorry” – UK Government Apologises To Peter Obi Over His Illegal Detention

British Government has apologized to the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, over his illegal detention at Heathrow Airport in London, United Kingdom.

KanyiDaily had reported how Peter Obi was detained and questioned for a duplication offense which suggests that someone has been impersonating him in London.

The Head of Obi-Datti Media Office, Diran Onifade, who made this known in a statement issued on Wednesday, said Peter Obi was harassed by London immigration officials and placed in detention where he spent the Easter holidays.

Onifade explained that Obi’s impostor may have all kinds of weighty crimes and other dubious acts that led to the harassment of the LP flagbearer who lived for over a decade in the UK.

He emphasized that since the impersonator is still at large, the scenario is unimaginable as Peter Obi could be implicated in a series of forbidden acts and even be framed in a manner that could be a huge embarrassment to him, his family, his party, the Obedient movement, and Nigeria, where he currently and remains the conscience of the people.

British Government Appologizes To Peter Obi

UK government has appologized to the LP presidential candidate for wrongful detention and interrogation by immigration Officials at the Heathrow airport London.

According to the Labour Party on its website, the UK’s immigration official admitted that Obi was wrongly handed a detention note while searching for a man impersonated him and committed forgery, identity theft and perjury.

The party also claimed that the UK government said that the uncomplimentary treatment Obi received was “completely unacceptable” and therefore apologized to Obi personally.

It stated that the UK immigration authorities apologized, saying, “Frankly, the Immigration Official’s action – has been appalling – and we are sorry.”

KanyiDaily recalls that President Muhammadu Buhari’s aide, Bashir Ahmad had mocked Peter Obi over his detention, saying the LP presidential candidate was treated like a common criminal in the UK.
