A call has been made by Lauretta Onochie for the DSS to immediately arrest Peter Obi of the Labour Party for allegedly instigating violence in Nigeria.
"This man, @PeterObi, continues to instigate his headless and consequently, brainless followers to a violent change of government. I have never seen a more desperate individual.
