The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested a 26-year-old man over alleged threats directed at former presidential candidate, , following an attack on him in Benin City, Edo State.

Obi was reportedly attacked last Tuesday alongside leaders of the (ADC) at the residence of party chieftain, , in Benin.

In the aftermath of the incident, a social media user identified as Udeme Stephen allegedly took to his X (formerly Twitter) account, @stevetom788, claiming responsibility for the attack and issuing further threats. In the post, he reportedly described Obi as “lucky” to have survived the Edo incident and warned of additional violence during a proposed visit to Rivers State.

Security sources disclosed that operatives of the DSS immediately launched a discreet investigation into the online threats. Using digital forensic tools and intelligence tracking, the agency was able to trace the suspect to Rivers State.

The suspect, said to be a teacher at Jessica High School located in Eliozu, Obio-Akpor Local Government Area, was subsequently arrested. He is currently in DSS custody as investigations continue.

Authorities have yet to release an official statement detailing possible charges, but security officials affirmed that threats to public figures and actions capable of inciting violence are treated with utmost seriousness.

The DSS has reiterated its commitment to maintaining public safety and preventing acts that could destabilize the peace in any part of the country.

Just look at who dey challenge 😆
I'm sure one of these unread nairalanders that come on here to abuse and think they can go scot free , put him up to this

His tweet exposed him and put him in trouble.
He might not be the one that orchestrated the physical attack since it was rumouredly reported that he was in Lagos at that time and he is a school teacher.
But what he typed behind closed doors on a keyboard has made him a prime suspect

He needs to be taught a lesson

They want to use this one as an escape goat

They always think they cannot be traced that's why they talk trash online

He's going to be the authentic definition of 'scapegoat'.

This is a democracy, there’s no need to threaten or attack anyone. As for the Agulu saviour Peter Obi isn’t going to win; he appears more like a showman, entertaining the public and presenting himself as an alternative, but in reality he's just a flash in the pan.

Looking at the right eye there is a bit of bloodshot, he must have collected some slaps from security agent that arrested him
