The Labour Party (LP) says Peter Obi, its presidential candidate, was harassed and detained by London immigration officials over alleged impersonation.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Obi-Datti media office said the LP presidential candidate was detained at the Heathrow Airport after being accosted by an immigration officer.
According to the LP media office, Obi was pulled aside for an alleged duplication offense, implying that he had an impersonator in the country.
“Obi-Datti media office can confirm that the LP presidential candidate in the February 25 presidential poll had arrived the Heathrow Airport in London from Nigeria and joined the queue for the necessary airport protocols when he was accosted by an immigration official who handed him a detention note and told him to step aside,” the media team said.
