The  factional national Publicity Secretary of Labour Party,  Abayomi  Arabambi has  pleaded with the  Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba and  Director General of Department of State Service to  arrest  the presidential candidate of the party, Mr Peter Obi and  the factional national  Chairman, Julius Abure and  put them  under house arrest.

Arabambi claimed that their arrest and  subsequent house arrest would  save Nigeria democracy, saying that the duo were  hell bent on truncating May 29th inauguration of President-elect, Bola Tinubu .

The factional acting Publicity Secretary stated this on Monday in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, while addressing a press briefing on the crisis rocking the party .
