Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election, has said the issue he recently had with alleged identity theft in the United Kingdom started in Nigeria. Obi, however, added that the matter was still being investigated by UK authorities. He disclosed this on Sunday while speaking as a guest on a Parallel Facts Media Twitter Space programme. “I have been to the UK since then and they too are investigating because when I arrived, I asked them and they said they were looking into it,” Obi said.

Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election, has said the issue he recently had with alleged identity theft in the United Kingdom started in Nigeria.He disclosed this on Sunday while speaking as a guest on a Parallel Facts Media Twitter Space programme. “I have been to the UK since then and they too are investigating because when I arrived, I asked them and they said they were looking into it,” Obi said.“That’s all I can say for now. I am also extremely careful. I’m managing it and I am hoping nothing goes wrong. But it all started from here; that’s all I can tell you. It’s something that started from Nigeria.”
In April, Obi was reportedly delayed and questioned by some immigration officials in London over a case of identity theft.Obi was said to have been detained for hours after his British Airways plane landed at Heathrow Airport.According to one of his former aides, Prof Chinyere Okunna, Obi narrated the ordeal to her in private and expressed pain about his ordeal, which was meant to hound and chase him out of Nigeria.
However, Femi Fani-Kayode, the former Director, New Media sub-committee of the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign council, had said Obi could not be trusted unless he explained what led to his detention by British immigration officers at Heathrow Airport.Fani Kayode stated, “Until Peter Obi tells us what happened to him at Heathrow Airport and why he was accosted and detained by British immigration officials over Easter, he cannot be trusted or taken seriously.
