Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election, Mr Peter Obi has revealed the real reason behind his recent ordeal in the United Kingdom (UK).
Peter Obi said contrary to viral reports that he was detained at Heathrow Airport in the UK, he was merely stopped for a routine immigration check.
Recall that the former Anambra State Governor was allegedly detained for hours at Heathrow Airport, London by UK immigration officials.
But in an interview with Arise TV on Monday night, Obi insisted that he was never arrested, stressing that the routine immigration check lasted less than 20 minutes.
He said he was only checked because it appears his identity was duplicated by someone. He said he was given VIP treatment.
“I was stopped for a routine immigration check in the UK because it appears that my identity was duplicated by someone.
“I was never arrested. I was treated with due respect and walked through the VIP process. Everything lasted less than 20 minutes,” Obi said.
