PETER OBI RAISES ALARM OVER ARREST OF CLERIC WHO HOSTED HIM IN KADUNA
Peter Obi has raised concerns over the reported arrest of a cleric who hosted him during his recent visit to Kaduna.
Obi said he was informed that the cleric was picked up by security operatives shortly after hosting him, describing the situation as troubling and unexpected.
He expressed worry that the timing of the arrest could send the wrong signal and potentially discourage citizens from freely associating with political figures.
He emphasized the importance of upholding constitutional rights, particularly freedom of association and expression, urging authorities to act within the confines of the law and ensure transparency in the handling of the matter. Obi also called for calm, while stressing that individuals should not be subjected to intimidation or harassment based on their interactions or affiliations.
As of the time of this report, the specific reasons behind the clericβs arrest have not been officially disclosed, and there has been no widely confirmed statement from security agencies clarifying the circumstances.
The development has continued to generate reactions online, with many observers questioning the timing and calling for clarity from relevant authorities. However, no verified evidence has linked the visit directly to the arrest, and the situation remains subject to further clarification.
