Recall that Obi was detained and questioned for a duplication offence which suggests that someone has been impersonating him in London.

As a result, the UK government on Thursday afternoon admitted that its immigration official wrongly handed the former Anambra governor a detention note in search of a man who impersonated him to commit perjury, forgery, and identity theft.

British authorities said the uncomplimentary treatment he received was “completely unacceptable,” and thus issued a personal apology.

“Frankly, the Immigration Official’s action – has been appalling – and we are sorry,” Immigration authorities apologised

Taking to his official Twitter handle, Bwala said the British government has now apologised to Peter Obi, and it is better a “respek” is put on his name.

According to him, everyone is now waiting for the United States government to tender an apology to Nigerian President-Elect, Bola Tinubu for illegally collecting the forfeited dollars.

Daniel Bwala wrote, “British government apologized to Peter Obi for illegally serving him a detention note. 

“Can you now put a “respek” on his name? We are now waiting for the US government to apologize to Tinubu for illegally collecting the forfeited dollars. Asiwaju fans oya start throwing the insults.”

A few days ago, the All Progressives Congress (APC) admitted Tinubu, indeed forfeited the sum of $460,000 to the government of the United States of America, USA, in 1993 following a drug trafficking allegation.

It, however, refuted the claim that Tinubu was convicted by the US as a result of the forfeiture.
