Former Governor of Anambra state, Mr. Peter Obi, has distanced himself from a piece of news circulating in the social media, alleging that he had secured a court injunction to stop a purported probe by a panel investigating police brutality in Anambra.
Obi, through his media aide, Val Obienyen, urged the general public to disregard the rumour, as he is not under any probe.
He said, “I saw the news that Mr. Peter Obi has secured court injunction to stop the probe of SARS.
“Kindly disregard the news as fake. There is absolutely no truth in the news.
“Mr. Peter Obi is not SARS and could not have secured any injunction in a matter where he has no locus.
“For your information, it is SARS and not Peter Obi that is being probed. It is only enemies of progress that try relentlessly to link Obi to the probe that he is not part of.”
