The Peter Obi-Yusuf Datti Presidential Campaign Office on Wednesday explained why the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, was allegedly harassed by immigration officers at the Heathrow Airport, in London, United Kingdom.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the Spokesman for the Campaign Council, Diran Onifade, in a statement said Obi was detained and questioned for a duplication offense, which suggests that someone has been impersonating Obi in London.
Onifade said Obi, who just returned from London, where he celebrated Easter, was saved by the spontaneous reaction of Nigerians at Heathrow Airport.
According to him, Obi arrived the Heathrow Airport in London from Nigeria on Good Friday, April 7, 2023, and joined the queue for the necessary airport protocols when he was accosted by immigration official who handed him a detention note and told him to step aside.
“He was questioned for a long time and it was very strange for a man who lived for over a decade in that country,” Onifade’s statement partly reads.
HE WAS DELAYED AND QIESTIONED FOR A LONG TIME, YET TERMED AS REALESED DUE TO SPONTANEOUS REACTIONS FROM Nigerians AT THE Heathrow AIRPORT.
The tell tales with spins of a VALID detention. I do not yet know when spontaneous reactions forces the British to forgo and abandon legitimate and valid immigration and security matters in the UK.
THIS MISINFORMATION WAS NOT WELL THOUGHT OUT BEFORE RELEASE. YOU MAY HAVE TO TRY AGAIN OR HARDER.
Peter Obi WAS PROFILED AND PROCESSED FOR BOTH IMMIGRATION AND SECURITY CONCERNS AT THE Heathrow AIRPORT IN London. PURE AND SIMPLE.
The dough brains could explain it away all they wish, would no more difference than established tissues of LIES. shikenah!
