Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, was last week detained in London by the United Kingdom immigration officials for alleged impersonation.
This was made known in a statement issued Wednesday by the Head, ObiDatti Media, Diran Onifade.
Mr Onifade however said Peter Obi has since returned to Nigeria.
The LP presidential candidate in the February 25 presidential poll arrived at 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 officials who handed him a detention note and told him to step aside, Mr Onifade said.
According to the statement, Peter Obi was harassed by London immigration officials and placed in detention where he spent the Easter holidays.
He was questioned for a long time and it was very strange for a man who lived for over a decade in that country, the statement said.
