VerseNews reports that Onochie accused Obi of trying to provoke violence using his supporters, popularly known as Obidients over his defeat in the election.

According to Onochie, heaven will not fall if Obi is arrested. She called for the arrest of the former Anambra governor on Tuesday in a post on X (formerly Twitter), while reacting to a video posted by one Abubakar Sidiq Usman.’

In the video, Obi could be heard calling on Nigerian youths to challenge Nigerian leaders on bad governance in the country.

Obi could be heard on the video embedded in another video of protesters, saying, “It is not people you remove by prayers, so it is time to act, not to pray. The youths unfortunately, do you know how Marcus left office in the Philippines?

“Marcus left office because, on a Sunday, Cardinal Sien finished church service. Instead of saying the mass has ended, let us go, he told everybody, Today, follow me and block the presidential lodge. “

After three days, Marcus and his wife left. It is time for us to close the church and deal with these people.”
