“As of Saturday, Mr. Obi was in Rwanda attending to important engagements,” Obienyem said. “He has since returned to Nigeria and is currently in Edo State, where he is actively involved in party and national matters.”

The statement urged the public to disregard the rumour and stop spreading false information.

“There was no DSS operation at his residence, and no arrest was made,” Obienyem emphasised.
