Police in Edo State have arrested popular activist, Precious Oruche, also known as Mama P.
Mama P, who is a staunch supporter of former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, was arrested and detained at the Edo State Police Criminal Investigation Department, in Benin following her earlier alleged physical attack on Labour Party factional Chairman, Julius Abure.
Obidient Movement’s
National Coordinator, Yunusa Tanko, disclosed this via an X post on Saturday.
He wrote: “Mama P has been detained at state CID @ Edo State Police Headquarters, off Sapele road, Benin City.
“I have just spoken to our legal Director to deploy lawyers to her rescue. We want more people to come for her rescue. Lawyers and all concerned should please mount immediately. We need everyone’s support for her NOW.”
The development follows reports and counter-reports of an altercation between Mama P and the factional National Chairman of the Labour Party, Julius Abure.
