Veteran singer and activist, Charles Oputa, also referred to as Charly Boy, has stated that the Federal Government, led by President Bola Tinubu, intends to detain Peter Obi, the Labour Party's (LP) nominee for president in the most recent election, because of his persistent criticism of the government.
He forewarned that there would be unprecedented resistance in Nigerian history to any attempt to detain or prosecute Obi.
In order to avoid igniting the country with "an illegal arrest" of Obi, he pleaded with the Federal Government to proceed cautiously.
On his X handle, Charly Boy wrote: “There’s a report of an attempt of arrest on Peter Obi, by Tinubu’s Government over Peter Obi’s consistent refusal to back down on calling Tinubu out towards good governance and accountability.
“Any arrest or charges against Obi must be met with resistance as never seen in the history of Nigeria before, and the Obidients are ready for it. Tinubu’s government must tread with caution not to set this nation on fire with the illegal arrest of HE Peter Obi. We call on Tinubu’s government to desist from her evil plans against Peter Obi because Nigeria will not remain the same.”
