Treated like common criminal – Buhari’s aide mocks Peter Obi over UK arrest

President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Assistant on Digital
Communication, Bashir Ahmad has mocked the presidential candidate of the Labour
Party, Peter Obi, over his detention in the United Kingdom.

Ahmad said Obi was treated like a common criminal in the UK.

Reports had emerged that UK Immigration had detained Obi for
hours and interrogated him after his British Airways plane landed at Heathrow
Airport on Friday morning over alleged impersonation.

The development has continued to generate reactions from concerned
citizens.

Reacting, Ahmad said Obi’s arrest in the UK was
unacceptable.

He charged the UK government to explain to Nigerians the
circumstances surrounding Obi’s arrest.

Tweeting, the presidential aide wondered if it was the real
Obi or a fake that was arrested and detained.

According to Ahmad: “A whole former presidential candidate
treated like a common criminal, unacceptable. Haba.

“The UK should kindly tell us what they know about the
numerous Peter Obis roaming around. His detention got me really disturbed.

“Was it the authentic Obi or the criminal Obi that contested
and came 3rd in the February presidential election? I hope it wasn’t the
criminal one oo!”
