Just advise the pandora criminal called Obi to stop all this silly fake sympathy he has been trying to cultivate because it is not working and Nigerians can see through all his gimmicks. Only a few weeks ago, Obi created an assassination attempt on himself but no one beleived him. Now he is trying to say government is trying to arrest anyone he speaks with.

We heard you the first time, you're now sounding like a broken record now, yes he faked his assassination, thank you.

Dricker:
like bro we are too docile in this country due tribe and religion,this kind of stupid government abroad would have caused a revolution

Bro ..... we Nigerians are afraid to die..... that's just the fact !!!

Democracy democracy democracy democracy democracy democracy democracy democracy democracy democracy democracy democracy democracy

Go and arrest him first. I wan check something

Watianoengineer:
Peter Obi is too desperate to be president. He can roll with any character just for votes. It's better they arrest him and heaven will not fall.

Tinubu will win 2027.

Helinuss:
I am of the opinion tinubu will attempt to be a life time president. Save this space for future reference

you sound funny if u just getting to know this.....Something that's been obvious way back as 2024......why do you think most of these governors and what have you have been defecting too....

Bro ...Tinubu hustling to become a lifetime president, would want to warrant the governors hustling for a longer time to govern......Ofcourse u aware of the kind of leadership u have in the senate right now..."The oh yes men".....watch them twist the constitution to their favour in days to come .....

Ofcourse, the so called present governors would want to bribe to remain in power by sponsoring their stay in and winning over opponents with huge sums........leadership would now become MORE OF THEM AND LESS OF THE MASSES with little or nothing to show as dividends..

Security operatives believed to be personnel of the Department of State Services DSS have arrested a prominent Islamic cleric and former governorship aspirant in Kaduna State, Sheikh Ahmad Tijjani Umar 24 hours after he hosted presidential hopeful, Peter Obi.
While details of his arrest remain sketchy as at the time of filling this report, the development however underscores the deeply troubling state of Nigeria’s democracy, where freedom of speech and movement is increasingly threatened, and where citizens and perceived political opponents face harassment and unnecessary persecution.

Meanwhile, Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has condemned and raised an alarm over the arrest of the religious leader.

According to Obi, Umar was arrested shortly after he hosted him in Kaduna State on Sunday.

Taking to his X account on Tuesday, the former Governor of Anambra State described the development as a threat to freedom of speech and movement.

He submitted that such troubling developments in Nigeria’s political space must be nipped in the bud.

Obi added that suppression and intimidation of opposition voices by the Nigerian government must stop, noting that the rule of law must pr

“I have just been made aware early this morning that Revered religious leader, Sheikh Ahmad Tijjani Umar has been arrested by authorities shortly after hosting me in Kaduna on Sunday.

“This development underscores the deeply troubling state of our nation and our democracy, where freedom of speech and movement is increasingly threatened, and where citizens and perceived political opponents face harassment and unnecessary persecution. This cannot be allowed to continue.

“This country must defend freedom and free speech, which are the hallmarks of every democratic society. Suppression and intimidation of dissent can never stand in a democratic society, and this Nigerian government must understand this fact.

“I respectfully call on all those bent on undermining our already fragile democracy to please stop and apply the rule of law and tenets of democracy in dealing with citizens,” he wrote.

Out of his desperation to become President Peter Obi is increasingly getting sucked into the vortex of terrorism and the corrupt. The company he keeps lately suggests that.

He who the gods want to kill they first make mad. Tinubu is now like Pharaoh, his days are obviously numbered and my mind is telling me, he might be the first Ex-President to go jail in this country.

AMINDA:
He is associating with individuals who made Tinubu president. What's wrong with that? Was Peter Obi the one that told Tinubu to betray his helpers?

Mention those Individuals, besides I think he's the saint that wants to destroy the structure of criminality how's he now romancing with them. You all are shameless.

dederocs:
Nonsense, you people with your myopic political interests won't jeopardise Nigeria because of your small myopic interest and thinking, we won't allow it.

What exactly are you saying in essence?

how many times are you gonna post this gibberish,before your nonsense hunger for purpoted lies will quench ?

greatseed:
If you look closely, I don't think DSS will just arrest him without reason! Both of them in the picture above look like conniving fraudsters. DSS must have information. Obi also needs to be investigated with the calibre of people he is playing around

U are funny.
So can u count or know the kind of people Tinubu has been rolling with.
If they want to start to check my brother even if u sef will be ashamed of your comment.
even u like this are you free?

Look at this element.....does your vague statements address his question?
Unto this day the useless DSS have not arrested the terrorists terrorising Nigerians..
Unto this day Boko Haram have been attacking Maiduguri..unto this day bandits are still kidnapping people in the fct.
Your duty is to provide intelligence on an issue, prevent it before it's happened yet what you do is to carry assault rifles intimidating opposition politicians up and down.
Nonsense.

dynicks:
Lol....They would have picked Peter Obi a long time ago if they have been able to find something to hold onto....

Speaks alot of whom the person OBI is.....

Nope. They won't pick obi. They're surrounding him with all this drama and avoid picking him for one reason: they need him to be on the ballot. Without obi on the ballot Atiku is going to floor Tinubu badly. Tinubu is desperate: desperate for obi to run. They are giving obi this facade that he is important. And coming from a place where it's easy for them to be manipulated, he and his hordes are buying Tinubu's bs.

WHEN I SAW ISLAMIC CLERIC, NEXT THING I WAS EXPECTING WAS GUMI, DSS HAS BECOME AGENTS OF DARKNESS WORKING AGAINST THOSE THAT WILL RESTORE NIGERIA TO GLORY.

I hope they have a good reason for this arrest. Because why play into the hands of a defeated opposition?
Pathological liar Obi is desperate for any attention.
Ain't no way Tinubu is losing the next election, no need to give air to a dead presidential campaign like Obi and Atiku.

It seems FG is afraid to arrest Obi

This is a glary display of hypocrisy and tribalistic mentality

Dennisochampa:

The same u wen say "muslim / muslim ticket" na religious war, dey go meet the Muslim cleric for support....I never see hypocrite like Peter obi before...

Did peter obi not Datti ahmed a Muslim as Vice, is Obi against muslims or advocating for fair representation of both dominant religion

Anyway, if the man no get werin e do, make them release am.... But if he's guilty of any crime with evidence, he should be prosecuted!!!

Why is only those percieved to be anti Tinubu that always have crime to answer for, have yahaya bello or delta gov. Okowa answered for there crime .. every one supporting Tinubu are ones clean

Anybody wen commit crime for Nigeria should be visited with the full wrath of the law... No exceptions!!

then why did Tinubu grant pardon to drug traffickers, rapist and murderers. You lot are just shameless

I won't blame Tinubu that's what most people do. When someone is bigger and more relevant than them , they try to bring them down. Peter Obi is bigger than Tinubu all the APC governors.

I doubt Atiku would contest....

ERockson:
Government knows these types of clerics more than all l, but they won't act or call them to order until their actions affect the incumbent power politically.

Government knows these clerics you say, well it will be good to share what they know. When tables turn, make them no cry foul o. Cos e sure me say if I manage get power off that tinubu hand, smh, the way e go collect ehn!!! Every single one of them will collect, especially for the fun of it cos it seems they enjoy Intimidating citizens...

shut up for once if you don't know what to say even though there's nothing and any reason to justify anything. have shame atimes.

Any person again us
Must be seize

No be so your life don "seize" already?.

Walahi. Well.said.

Ever since I started hearing of DSS, they only go after people that are not on the side of the president, even if you're innocent.

They are getting paranoid. Why.

So anybody Atiku or Peter Obi talks with will be harassed by DSS or EFCC.

I thought they have 35 state governors in the bag already. Interesting times ahead.

Let's wait for the DSS to respond.
They'll probably say the man has been under investigation and his arrest just coincided with Obi's visit.

That's why they prefer to be called DSS instead of their constitutionally recognised nomenclature SSS.

Most times, the most stubborn fly that choose to enjoy the smell of the corpse to the later is the one the goes to the grave with the corpse.

Pls tell 'him'

This greed won't survive this evil, and a gross evil to the human, economic and security of the
nation indeed
