Peter Obi opens up on being arrested at London Airport

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has said contrary to viral reports that he was detained at the airport in London, the United Kingdom, he was merely stopped for a routine immigration check.

Recalls that UK immigration officials allegedly detained the former Anambra State governor for hours at Heathrow Airport, London.

But in an interview with Arise TV on Monday night monitored by Newsflash Nigeria, 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.

Obi said, “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.”
