A photoshopped image of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri and a U.K Immigration officer has generated angry reactions on social media.

The photo shared by a former presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adamu Garba was suggestive that the federal government facilitated the release of Peter Obi.

The federal government has since denied reports that it intervened in the detention ordeal of Obi in London, United Kingdom last week.

Recall that former Anambra governor was last Friday, reportedly detained for hours at London’s Heathrow Airport, over alleged impersonation.

He was later released after he was interrogated by UK immigration officials.

Garba on Thursday claimed his release was facilitated by the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission headed by Abike Dabiri.

In a tweet, he wrote: “Here is how the government of APC helped to recover Peter Obi from his detention cell in the UK over allegations of travelling to the UK with fake documents. All thanks to Abike Dabiri.

“His campaign fake, manifesto fake, his motives fake, even his travel documents are fake. Why?”

Check out the four images that made up the viral photoshopped photo
