Word coming out of Otta, Ogun State indicates that former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, was in the early hours of this morning, whisked away from his Otta Farm by Men of the Nigerian Police Force led by the infamous CP Mbu
His arrest may be connected to his recent disparaging comments directed to President Goodluck Jonathan.
Eye Witness accounts say as early as 5:00 AM this morning, a combined force of Nigerian Army Officers and Policemen led by CP Mbu, stormed the Otta Farm residence of the former President, on “orders from above”, and after a brief scuffle (during which Chief Obasanjo kicked 5 officers in the balls and punched CP Mbu in the throat), he was eventually subdued and whisked into a waiting Armored Personnel Carrier.
While nothing has been heard from Chief Obasanjo since, he released a scathing statement via his spokesperson directed once again to President Jonathan:
“You think you can hold me down? You must be joking. I will continue to stand for proper democracy. I will not be silenced! Somebody tell Moji to bring food for me as soon as possible”.
The President meanwhile, has refused to comment on the recent development. However, his Aide, Mr Reuben Abati has been recorded saying “There is no problem. Just a random security check. Baba is fine and will be released soon”.
More on this as events unfold.
