UK Yet to Apologize For Peter Obi's Detention - Labour Party | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE

Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, has denied reception of a letter of apology from the British government over his detention and questioning by immigration officials at Heathrow Airport in London.

Daily Report Nigeria had reported how the former Anambra governor was held up and questioned for long hours in London over an alleged impersonation.

In a statement on Wednesday by the Head of Obi-Datti Media Office, Diran Onifade, the party said Obi was wrongly detained over offences allegedly committed by an impostor currently at large.

Diran added that Peter Obi’s impostor may commit various crimes that would lead to the arrest of the LP flagbearer in the United Kingdom for duplication.

However, there were reports on Thursday that the British authorities have apologised over Obi’s detention.

According to the report, the UK government described the uncomplimentary treatment Obi received as “completely unacceptable,” and issued a personal apology.

“Frankly, the Immigration Official’s action – has been appalling – and we are sorry,” Immigration authorities were said to have apologized.

But in a statement on Thursday, Diran said that was not the case as the UK government was yet to apologize over the incident.

He, however, expressed confidence that the issue would be sorted by the British authorities.

“We have been receiving enquiries with regards to a so called apology, purportedly issued by the British Government or any of its agencies, to our Principal Mr Peter Obi, in respect of a routine Immigration engagement with him, as he arrived London, for a brief visit, last Friday, the 7th of April.

“We would like to state emphatically that we are not aware of any such apology, and have not issued any statement whatsoever, in that regard.

“While we continue to examine any dubious or political motive, on the part of the perpetrators of the identity theft, we have every confidence in the ability of the British authorities to resolve the matter, to conclusion,” Onifade said.

Diran added that his principal and the LP/PCC have moved on from the incident and are totally focused on the legal processes before the Election Petition Tribunal towards the recovery of their mandate.
