Obi stated that the reports were made up by rumour-mongers to distract the citizens from focusing on critical issues affecting the country.
In a statement on Wednesday on his social media handle, he advised Nigerians and supporters to disregard the reports.
“The recurring fake News on me. I have been made aware of a circulating fake News about my alleged arrest. Let me state unequivocally that these claims are entirely false.
“I am currently at my home in Onitsha. Anambra State. Such fake News on my person has become a pastime for some people.
“Recall last year September, when I was in Rwanda, similar lies had gone out that DSS invaded my house; now, while I was in my home in Onitsha, Anambra State, they said I was arrested in Abuja.

“I Thank the public for the concern, support, and dedication to the cause of a better Nigeria that is possible!!!” Obi stated.
